Authorities say a Florida model killed her husband with a gunshot before killing herself earlier this week.
According to investigators, on Wednesday, Sabrina Krasniqi, 27, shot and killed Pajtim Krasniqi, 34, on the balcony of their Miami condominium. She then took her own life.
The event happened at the upscale Beach Club Hallandale Tower II on South Ocean Drive in the medium-sized coastal city of Hallandale Beach early in the morning, shortly after midnight.
According to the police, at 12:30 a.m., they received a ShotSpotter indication that bullets had been fired close to the disputed address.
The shooter paused before shooting the sixth and final shot, according to Miami-based ABC affiliate WPLG, after five shots were fired in rapid succession, according to the Hallandale Beach Police Department.
The victim’s sister appeared to confirm the order of the double-fatality shooting when she posted on Facebook that her sister-in-law had shot her brother five times in the chest.
The grieving sister stated, “I didn’t spend Thanksgiving Eve with my husband and kids.” There were no friends around.
It was spent talking about my youngest brother’s wife’s stupid and vicious murder of him with police officers, investigators, and press reporters. My brother was shot five times in the chest by Pajtimi’s wife, who decided to take his life.
Both inside and outside condo unit 4508, responding cops found a somber and macabre scene.
Pools of blood were seen beneath and close to the bodies of the husband and wife, who were both on the balcony floor.
Video cameras mounted on local media helicopters captured snippets of the pre-holiday chaos.
Inside the apartment, the WPLG camera recorded a teddy bear, roses, and a heart-shaped box. It also recorded a yellow tarp concealing a corpse.
A television that was still on and gunshot holes in the glass door going outside were seen on camera by the Miami-based Fox affiliate WSVN.
According to a news statement acquired by Miami’s NBC affiliate WTVJ, authorities reported that Sabrina Krasniqi killed her husband by shooting him many times before killing herself. The incident took place in their joint home.
The pair has ties to New York City as well.
According to reports, the wife used to reside in the Astoria section of Queens. According to WPLG, she was a model there going by the name Sabrina Dzaferovic. She once appeared in an Inside Edition piece discussing how common cat-calling is in New York City.
The community was shocked by the murder.
A neighbor told WSVN, “I haven’t seen anything like this since I was a little kid.” It’s crazy.
Authorities have not yet disclosed a motive for the murder-suicide as of this writing.
As of publishing, the police department has not responded to a request for further information on this article.
The victim’s sister stated in her Facebook post that the person he chose to spend his life with and the one he trusted the most was the one who snatched it away from him. She violated his trust and betrayed his affection. My family was crushed by her.
I will never be the same as my siblings. I’m afraid my mom won’t get better. You have my undying affection, Pajtim. Rest in peace.
