ابوالفضل نجفی، که با نام «آرون» نیز شناخته می‌شد، جوان ۲۵ ساله و مربی رسمی فدراسیون بدنسازی ایران بود. او به عنوان ورزشکاری میهن‌پرست و مربی حرفه‌ای در تهران فعالیت می‌کرد و در میان دوستان و شاگردانش به تخصص و عشق به میهن شهرت داشت. در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، ابوالفضل در منطقه رباط‌کریم تهران هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت و جان سپرد. بر اساس گزارش‌های منتشر شده، پیکر این ورزشکار جوان تنها پس از پیگیری‌های مداوم و مواجهه با دشواری‌های بسیار از سوی نهادهای امنیتی، برای خاکسپاری به خانواده‌اش تحویل داده شد. یاد ابوالفضل نجفی به عنوان یکی از چهره‌های ورزشی که در جریان اعتراضات جان خود را فدای آزادی کرد، در حافظه جمعی ایرانیان باقی مانده است. او مربی جوانی بود که زندگی و آرزوهایش با خشونت نیروهای حکومتی به پایان رسید.
