Two people were arrested yesterday by the Shkodra Police in the Kiras neighborhood , while another was declared wanted, after they disobeyed the patrol's order to stop.

Ervis Baba , the driver of the vehicle, and a minor were arrested , while Barush alias Bajram Bregu , the right-hand man of Ibrahim Lici, known as " Fantazma ", was declared wanted.

Barush Bregu was also a passenger in the vehicle, which fired shots into the air and then managed to escape.

The police 'armed' the Kiras neighborhood with checks, but were unable to locate his whereabouts.

Barush Bregu was also declared wanted 1 day after the double murder that occurred in Shkodër on September 8, 2025, where the waitress Meri Kaceri was also injured , suspected of being the person who provided the perpetrator with the weapon.

Bregu is known as one of the main people behind the murders on behalf of the Lici group.

Event dynamics

The incident occurred at around 15:10, when the Police services, while patrolling in the "Guerrile" neighborhood, stopped a vehicle with two people inside to conduct checks.

The driver of the vehicle did not obey the police order, but increased speed and performed dangerous maneuvers, forcing the officers to pursue him.

During the pursuit, it is suspected that the vehicle's passenger, Bajram Bregu, fired a gun once in the air and then fled the scene.

The police managed to stop the driver of the vehicle, whose identity has not been made public due to the investigation, while dozens of police forces surrounded the Kirasi area and conducted checks for several hours with strict security measures.

However, after several hours of operation, authorities withdrew from the area without being able to apprehend the suspect.

At the moment he shot, the officers requested backup forces because he was a high-risk suspect, but by the time other police officers arrived, it was enough for Bajram Bregu to flee in an unknown direction.

Police suspicions are that Bregu may have exploited the internal communication between the courtyards and gardens of the houses in Kiras, which are suspected to have internal doors, which favored his escape.

In addition to numerous additional forces, the police also used a drone from the air to control the area but were unable to locate Bajram Bregu. Despite searches there, the police did not find him in the apartment where he was thought to be hiding.
