The attack happened inside the Engineers’ Club in the city of Teresina in north-eastern Brazil.
According to unofficial accounts, a row broke out shortly before the shots were fired.
Civil police are expected to take witness statements and examine CCTV as they try to identify who pulled the trigger.
Rafaella was known online as a massage therapist, law student and kite-surfing instructor, as reported by Need To Know.
Her Instagram account had 10,000 followers and mixed everyday clips with jiu-jitsu classes, photo shoots, and sports content.
She leaves behind two young children.
One friend wrote: “I still can’t believe you are gone, you were someone I liked very much and thinking that you will never come back leaves a huge hole in my heart.”
Followers posted farewells through Sunday night while relatives have not released any funeral details as of Monday morning.
Local reports said the killing was the third homicide recorded in the city within 24 hours, although the police have not linked the cases.
A 16-year-old boy was shot dead inside a house while a man’s body was found in a wooded area.
Officers have given no public briefing on Rafaella’s last movements inside the club or on how many shots were fired.
The gunman remains at large as the investigation continues.
