Full spoilers follow forDaredevil: Born Againepisode 3.
Yes, Hector Ayala i.e., the self-appointed vigilante known as White Riger is dead.
Episode 3’s final scene is a gut-punching one that involves Hector Ayala/White Tiger
Hey, very few people survive a point-blank gunshot to the head.
It’s an awful moment for three big reasons.
First, an innocent man has been gunned down in cold blood.
Ayala’s death hits harder because it’s the final performance given by de los Reyes before he passed away in December 2023
Indeed, we saw that incident play out in theDisney+show’s second episode.
Or so it seemed.
Well, until Ayala’s death, anyway.

You see, a target is painted on Ayala’s back when Murdock reveals he’s the White Tiger.
Okay, maybe I’m doing Murdock a disservice by saying it’s his fault that Ayala is dead.
In my view, though, Murdock is partly to blame because he publicly revealed Ayala’s secret identity.
No, The Punisher doesn’t kill White Tiger in Born Again episode 3
But back to the reason that you opened this article in the first place: episode 3’s misdirect.

Scroll back up to the paragraph where I mention those NYPD officers with the skull tattoos.
So, yes, I’m convinced that it isn’t Castle who took Ayala’s life.
