10 people have been taken to the police station so far and are being questioned to shed light on the circumstances of the crime that shocked Elbasan.
Yesterday evening, 43-year-old Mondi Mehalla, alias Edmond Hyka, was shot dead inside his parked vehicle. The incident occurred at around 20:35, in the "Emin Matraxhiu" neighborhood, near his gas station.
According to preliminary data, Mahalla had just left his office, in the building where his mother's businesses and apartment are located. The moment he got into the vehicle, he was shot with a firearm, receiving three bullets, two of which in the head, which caused his immediate death. The dynamics of the event have been assessed by experts as a typical mafia execution, but it could also result in murder due to a conflict that occurred last midweek for reasons that are still unclear.
Immediately after the alert, the Police services arrived at the scene, setting up numerous checkpoints at all exits of the city. Intensive field checks are continuing, in apartments, various environments and secondary roads, with the aim of identifying and capturing the perpetrators.
Police sources indicate that the vehicle used by the attackers is suspected to have been a black Audi, which sped away in the direction of the Elbasan-Librazhd axis.
Meanwhile, the General Directorate of Police has set up a special investigative group, which is working intensively to review video footage of the area and collect other material evidence.
According to official data, the 43-year-old had a criminal record in the field of narcotics and illegal possession of weapons. It is also learned that he was involved in a conflict a few days before the murder, a lead that is being seriously considered by the investigation team as a possible motive for the execution.
Investigations continue on several parallel tracks, while the police operation on the ground remains ongoing. The perpetrators of the assassination remain unidentified.
