New details have emerged from the massacre that occurred 24 hours ago in a bar in Manzë, Durrës, where two young people, Flori Paluçi and Aranit Kurti, were killed.

According to the forensic medical examination report, both victims died as a result of gunshot wounds. Both Aranit Kurti and Flori Paluçi have a wound to their bodies, with the entry point being behind their backs.

Journalist Elton Qyno has learned that two weapons of different calibers were used at the scene, while only one was found at the crime scene. This weapon is an American-made revolver pistol, and according to the footage, it was used by Flori Paluçi.

Meanwhile, two unexploded cartridges were found and seized at the scene, one outside the bar and the other inside. The cartridges belong to the revolver used by Flori Paluçi.

The weapons were identified through a series of video footage seized by the Durrës police, who managed to establish the dynamics of the incident and declared Daniel Pepa wanted on charges of "Premeditated Murder" and "Unlicensed Possession of Firearms."

Based on the footage, police say that Daniel Pepa and his friend, Aranit Kurti, went to the bar around midnight, where after they sat at the table next to them, the bar's waiter approached them.

They ordered coffee, but the waiter replied that he could not serve it because they had cleaned and turned off the espresso machine. But Daniel Pepa insisted that he wanted coffee, starting to curse and insult the waiter.

At this moment, another customer who was in the bar, named Flori Paluçi, intervened. The latter asked Daniel Pepa not to curse at the waiter since he was at the table with him.

"...don't insult him because he's at the table with me..." Flori Paluç addressed Daniel Pepa. The latter addressed him with the words "...what's wrong with you, are you a waiter or the owner...".

Both parties engaged in a verbal conflict, hurling insults at each other and then began pushing each other with their hands.

According to the footage seized by the police, it can be seen that Daniel Pepa, together with Ariel Kurti, left the premises of the bar, but after a few minutes he returned there again, this time taking a firearm with him.

Daniel Pepa also took with him 4 of his friends, Ergi Kadiu, Erald Cani, Taulant Beqja and Emirjan Beqja, who have been arrested by the Durrës Police since yesterday evening, on charges of "Failure to report a crime".

Meanwhile, during this time, footage captured by cameras installed inside the bar also captured Flori Paluç's actions.

He is seen in the footage holding a revolver pistol, and according to the footage, he is rapidly loading it. One of the bullets falls to the ground and is found unexploded by Durrës criminal police specialists.

Meanwhile, the same caliber of bullet was also found outside the premises of the bar, leading to unexploded bullets that were seized and taken for ballistics expertise to the Scientific Police laboratory.

Always referring to the footage, the police say that the first to shoot was Flori Paluçi, who fired once at the ground. He then pointed the gun at Daniel Pepa and opened fire on him, but was unable to kill him.

Daniel's friend, Aranit Kurti, who was very close to Florian Paluçi, punched Florian Paluçi in the face and ran away from him.

But Paluçi shoots once with a pistol at Aran Kurti, where the bullet penetrates his body behind his back and hits his heart, killing him instantly.

Amidst this whirlwind of gunfire, Daniel Pepa opened fire only once, shooting Flori Paluçi in the back, who after making several unconscious movements fell and died.

After these actions, Daniel Pepa, along with Ergi Kadiu, Erald Cani, Taulant Beqja and Emirjan Beqja, left the scene, only to return to the scene a few minutes later.

Pepa then finally left, failing to be caught by the State Police even today. Regarding his departure from the scene, the police and the Durrës prosecution have raised suspicions that his 4 friends, who have already been arrested and prosecuted for "Failure to report a crime", may have supported him./Syri
