The gunshot wound that occurred on September 25 on “Hysni Gërbolli” street was cleared up within 24 hours, while the police have identified the suspected perpetrator and arrested a 20-year-old man, as well as criminally prosecuted two other people involved in the conflict.
The injured man has been identified as Gjenk Karabeg, 33, known as the Kosovar singer Leumasi. He was shot in the leg after a conflict broke out in a bar.
According to the investigations of the Police Commissariat No. 3, during the conflict, Sajmir Pasmaciu, 54 years old, is suspected of having fired a gun at Karabeg and then left the scene. A detention order has been issued for him and he has been declared wanted, while work continues to locate and arrest him.
Pasmaciu is suspected of the criminal offenses of “Attempted murder”, “Unlicensed production and possession of combat weapons and ammunition”, “Unlicensed possession of cold weapons” and “Disturbance of public peace and order”.
During a search of the 54-year-old’s apartment, police found and seized a shotgun, a knife, and combat ammunition.
Samuel Tahiraj, 20, was also involved in the conflict, and is suspected of fighting with several people using hard objects. During the fight, 18-year-old AP was injured.
Tahiraj was arrested in flagrante delicto for the criminal offenses of “Intentional light injury”, “Failure to report a crime” and “Disturbance of public peace and order”.
Meanwhile, BP, 49 years old, and SP, 18 years old, were processed at large, as they are suspected of hitting Samuel Tahiraj with hard objects during the conflict. Several cartridges were also found and seized in the 49-year-old’s apartment.
But the investigation also revealed another piece of information about the injured man. During the verification, the police determined that Gjenk Karabeg was a person wanted by the Kosovo authorities.
The 33-year-old was arrested for extradition purposes, after being sentenced by the Basic Court in Gjakova to 50 days in prison.
