A professional mixed martial arts fighter was shot in his family’s home west of Boca Raton, Florida during a home invasion and later died of his injuries.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office identified the shooting victim on Tuesday as Aaron Rajman, 25, of suburban Boca Raton. The shooting occurred about 10:25 p.m. after several men entered the house and a fight ensued, a sheriff’s office press release said. Several men then fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction after the shooting, the press release said. Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the case as a homicide and have only vague information about the suspects.
Shortly after Rajman’s name was announced, friends and associates on Facebook and Twitter started announcing he was a MMA fighter.
One such post appeared on the Facebook page of West Boca Tai Chi, a martial arts school, which said Rajman was a mixed martial arts fighter who practiced at the school. In the Facebook post in Rajman’s memory, the school said three men had gunned him down in his family’s home in the middle of the night.
This “young man, with his huge heart, and quick smile, will be mourned and missed by his family and friends,” the post said.
According to the fight site Sherdog, Rajman was a 145-pound featherweight who trained at American Top Team in Coconut Creek and had an amateur record of 8-1 and a professional record of 2-2. Another site, The Underground, said he had an amateur record of 8-1. He lost his last professional fight, on May 7, 2016, in a TKO to Luis Raul Gomez Alvarez.
