The police investigations came to the conclusion that Arianit Sterio,
42, who was killed in Tirana this Monday, had tried to kill four people,
friends of Emiliano Shullazi.

Sterio tried to kill Pajtim Serjani, 32, who was wounded in one leg, and his two friends, Denis Ramani and Ditmir Reci.

Part of the group that was being shot at was Roland Meta, an off duty special police officer, who exchanged fire with the aggressor using his service weapon and leaving him dead. The police officer is seriously wounded and is being treated at the Tirana University Hospital.

The officer is also accused of intentional murder and announced his arrest. Sterio, on the other hand, has been reported as a hitman who has been outside Albania as an emigrant for several years and returned only recently. The data show that Sterio wanted to kill everyone who was staying with Pajtim Serjani.

Police is also investigating the murder attempt made against Emiljano Shullazi and his friend, Gilmando Dani, near the Kashar overpass.

Police is investigating if both cases are related and if the killer’s plan was to eliminate Shullazi’s band.
