Aya was shot by Zamir Raja who was sitting in the back of a Toyota Avensis being driven by Anthony Ennis. Zamir Raja was a hitman brought in to do a job. He fired two shots from the car which was being driven past Quickshine Tyres. Zamir Raja’s intended target was Pachah Khan: he was the proprietor of Quickshine Tyres. Zamir Raja’s first shot hit one of the windows of Quickshine Tyres: the second hit Aya Hachem.
