A Florida man is dead after his wife fatally shot him and then herself on the balcony of their luxury oceanfront high-rise in a tragic murder-suicide, police say.
At 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 27, Hallandale Beach police officers responded to a report of multiple shots fired at the Beach Club II Hallendale at 1830 South Ocean Drive, NBC 6 reported.
Officers found Pajtim Krasniqi, 34, and his wife, Sabrina Krasniqi, 27, laying on the balcony of their condominium unit, dead of apparent gunshot wounds, police said, according to NBC 6.
Sabrina shot Pajtim multiple times before shooting herself, CBS News reported.
The couple lived on the 45th floor of the luxury building, according to NBC 6, and the Miami Herald reported that police are investigating what led up to the fatal shooting.
In a heartbreaking post on Facebook, Albana Krasniqi Munrett wrote, “My Thanksgiving Eve wasn’t spent with my husband and children. It wasn’t spent with friends. It was spent with police officers, detectives and news reports talking about the vicious and senseless murder of my youngest brother by his wife.”
“Pajtimi’s wife chose to take my brother’s life away from him when she shot 5 bullets into his chest. The person he trusted the most, the person he chose to spend his life with was the one who took his away from him. She betrayed him, his love and his trust. She shattered my family. My siblings and I will never be the same. I’m terrified my mother will not ever recover,” the post continued.
She ended the post by writing, “I love you always Pajtim RIP.”
The Albanian newspaper Gazeta Temareports that the couple were Albanian nationals from Kosovo.
