Justice For Pito

Rafael “Pito” Rivera was fatally shot by Buffalo Police early morning Wednesday, September 12, 2018. He was a doting father to one boy and one girl, and both of his children loved their father dearly. Pito’s death has destroyed his mother and father, who must live on without their beloved son. Pito was a brother, a cousin, a nephew, and friends to so many people in the community. He was particular about how he dressed and fanatic about his long, beautiful hair. He had an incredible sense of humor and was always joking around with those who knew him. There is an endless stream of people who are now grieving the loss and grasping for understanding in the parking lot where he was fatally shot.


Donations in Pito's honor can be made to the Rivera Family via Go Fund Me or checks can be made out to Elizabeth Rivera.
