A small truck caught fire this afternoon on a road near Laç, alarming residents and vehicle drivers in the area.

The flames created large clouds of black smoke, which spread across the surroundings and made it difficult for vehicles to travel along this road.

Preliminary information indicates that no one was injured. Because of the situation, drivers reduced their speed, while authorities arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire and restore normal traffic conditions.

The causes of the truck catching fire remain unclear. They are expected to be clarified after the investigative actions are completed.

It is reported that the weapon was discovered after a thorough search by the investigative team, which was also guided by statements from people escorted to the police station after the incident.

The seized weapon is a revolver, which has been sent for forensic examination. Investigators are awaiting the results to determine whether the weapon was used during the incident and who it belongs to.

According to investigators, it is suspected that not only the perpetrator and the victim were at the scene, but also other individuals who may have been present or involved in the conflict.

Emiljan Suti, also known as Artur Suti, has been declared wanted as the perpetrator of the crime. He shot Gjini seven times immediately after he got out of his vehicle near the entrance to the apartment building where he lived.

Although Gjini tried to get away, he was chased and shot again near the entrance of the building.

After the shooting, the 40-year-old was rushed to the Trauma Hospital, but he did not survive his injuries and died on the way to the hospital.

The victim, who was known by four surnames — Kokaj, Lika, Gjini and Nure — and the perpetrator lived in the same neighborhood and had also had a conflict some time earlier.

As for the suspect, Emiljan Suti, alias Artur Suti, he is a well-known name to the police. Suti has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for “threats because of duty” and has a criminal record for illegal possession of weapons. He was arrested in Belgium for theft.

Meanwhile, in 2011, he also managed to survive an assassination attempt in front of the Kurbin police station. Artur Suti is the brother of Gentian Suti, previously arrested for drugs, theft and murder.

In 2019, the two brothers and their cousin killed cousins Mikel and Jani Jushi, while Gentian Suti was wounded. In 2010, meanwhile, the Suti brothers were arrested and accused of attempted murder after opening fire on the State Police, “illegal possession of military weapons,” “insulting because of duty,” and “disobeying a police order.”

At the time, prosecutor Eugen Beci sought a guilty verdict and 21 years in prison for Artur Suti, while for his brother Gentian he sought 20 years in prison. The judicial panel, chaired by Klodian Kurushi, dismissed the prosecution’s attempted murder charges against the Suti brothers over the police officers, sentencing them instead for the criminal offenses of “threats,” “disobeying a police order,” and “illegal possession of weapons,” a sentence that was ultimately reduced to 5 years for Artur and 4 years in prison for Gentian.
