Tragic in Sweden/ Young Albanian man shot dead, suspected victim of gang clash

A tragic event occurred in the late hours of Sunday evening in Sweden, where a young Albanian man was shot to death.

The sad news was made known by touching reactions online from the victim's relatives, who write that Genti was killed by mistake.

It is suspected that the young Albanian was a bystander when the fight between criminal gangs escalated to the use of weapons that took the life of Gent Maksutaj, whose exact age has not yet been revealed, but is said to be in his 20s. 

Gent's father has also reacted, heartbroken over the tragic loss of his son.

"Rest in peace my son. Forever in our hearts. Dad loves you very much," wrote Gent Maksutaj's father in a Facebook post.

Local authorities are continuing to work to fully elucidate the incident, so new details are expected to emerge in the future.

Meanwhile, details about the Albanian's funeral ceremony have not yet been revealed, but the family is expected to make an announcement.

The serious incident was also reported by Swedish media, which reported that police were notified of gunshots around 9 pm on Sunday, in Kvarngärdet in Uppsala.

Upon arriving at the scene, the Police began work to fully investigate the case and identify and apprehend the perpetrator.

However, it is reported that a person approximately 18 years old was detained in the early hours of this morning.

So far, the causes of the incident remain unclear, but there is no doubt that the incident was caused by clashes between criminal groups, as the victim's relatives have claimed.
