As such, he would not reopen the case as the district attorney.
Rafe had previously paid a visit to Ava in the hopes of getting more information on the case, considering she had had connections with drug rings in the past. While Ava insisted she didn't know anything more, Rafe hinted that Ava played a small role in Li's death. He suspected Gil had come to the apartment to kill Ava, but he killed Li instead.
