Tragic Murder-Suicide in Hallandale Beach: Couple Dies in Condo | World News

A couple died in a murder-suicide at a high-rise condo in Hallandale Beach early Wednesday, police said.

Authorities said they received a ShotSpotter alert about multiple shots fired on the 1800 block of South Ocean Drive around 12:30 p.m.

In one of the condos at Beach Club II Hallandale at 1830 South Ocean Drive, officers discovered a man and a woman who appeared to have been shot. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

According to police, the deceased were Pajtim Krasniqi, 34, and his wife Sabrina Krasniqi, 27.

“Through the investigation, it was determined that Sabrina Krasniqi shot her husband many times before killing herself. Police said in a press release on Friday that the incident took place at their shared home.

The cause of the fatal shooting was not immediately disclosed by police.

Albana Krasniqi Munrett posted a tragic message on Facebook: “I did not spend Thanksgiving with my husband and children. There were no friends around. The message was dedicated to police officers, investigators and news programs talking about the recklessness and terribleness of my youngest brother’s wife’s murder.

“My brother was shot five times in the chest by Pajtimi’s wife, who decided to end his life. The person he wanted to spend his life with and trusted the most was the one who took it away from him. She violated his life. “I’m afraid that my mother won’t get better,” it continued.

What really happened?

Aerial footage from Chopper 6 appeared to show a body, later covered with a sheet, on a balcony of one of the apartments, and officers were seen entering and exiting the building at sea.

A glass door had what looked like bullet holes, and there were pools of blood nearby.

A teddy bear, a box of flowers with a heart motif, lots of evidence and an upside down television were found in the apartment.

According to a police recording of the shots that triggered the ShotSpotter alert, five shots were fired in rapid succession, followed by a brief pause and then a sixth.
