Late last night, a serious incident was recorded in Sweden, where a young Albanian man was shot dead. News of his death was made public through heartbreaking messages posted by family members on social media, where they wrote that Genti was killed by mistake.
According to suspicions, the young man may have been a passerby at the moment when a clash between criminal gangs escalated to the use of weapons, taking the life of Gent Maksutaj, whose exact age has not yet been confirmed, though he is said to have been in his 20s.

Gent’s father has also expressed his grief over this tragic loss.
“Rest in peace, my son. Forever in our hearts. Dad loves you very much,” Gent Maksutaj’s father wrote in a post on Facebook.
Meanwhile, authorities in the country are continuing investigations to fully clarify the circumstances of the incident, while further details are expected in the coming days.
As there is still no announcement regarding the Albanian man’s funeral ceremony, the family is expected to issue an official statement.
Swedish media have also given attention to the case, reporting that police received a report of gunfire at around 9 p.m. on Sunday in Kvarngärdet in Uppsala.
As soon as they arrived at the scene, police began working to fully clarify what had happened and to identify and arrest the perpetrator.
However, it is reported that a person around 18 years old was detained in the early hours of this morning.
The causes of this incident remain unclear, but the possibility that it stemmed from clashes between criminal groups has not been ruled out, as the victim’s relatives have also claimed.
