Assassination of Chico Diaz

The Assassination of Chico Diaz was a successful attempt by Rafael Scarfe to keep Chico Diaz from testifying against Cornell Stokes.
==Background==
Chico Diaz was wounded but survived the shootout against Pop's Barber Shop. Misty Knight and Rafael Scarfe visited Diaz in the hospital to question him about his involvement in Dante Chapman's murder. Diaz refused to talk, and Knight encouraged him to give them a call if he changed his mind.Luke Cage: 1.03: Who's Gonna Take the Weight?
==Assassination==
Chico Diaz accepted Misty Knight's offer upon leaving the hospital, and ended up calling Rafael Scarfe and asking him for help. Diaz met with him to testify against Cottonmouth. However, unknown to Diaz, Scarfe was corrupt and under Cottonmouth's payroll, so as soon as Diaz revealed the identity of Stokes' problems, Scarfe suddenly betrayed and attacked Diaz, suffocating him with his tie to death.
==Aftermath==
Rafael Scarfe delivered Diaz's corpse to Harlem's Paradise, and arranged a deal with Cottonmouth, informing that his target was actually Luke Cage. With this information, Cottonmouth used a rocket launcher to fire a missile at Genghis Connie's, believing it would be enough to kill him.Luke Cage: 1.05: Just to Get a Rep
