In a shocking turn of events, a 27-year-old model is suspected of fatally shooting her husband before ending her own life in their high-end Florida residence, leaving his family in profound sorrow. Sabrina Krasniqi is believed to have fired five rounds at her 34-year-old spouse, Pajtim Krasniqi, before turning the gun on herself on the balcony of their opulent condominium at Beach Club II Hallandale in Hallandale Beach, just north of Miami. The incident reportedly took place around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Hallandale Beach police were dispatched to the horrific scene shortly after the gunshots were reported. Upon arrival, they found the lifeless bodies of the couple outside their 45th-floor apartment. Both were declared dead at the scene.
Pajtim’s sister, Albana Krasniqi Munrett, took to social media to express her grief over the loss of her brother. In her emotional post, she lamented the betrayal her brother experienced from the person he trusted most and the devastation it has inflicted on her family. She also voiced concern about her mother’s ability to cope with the tragedy.
Aerial footage of the police investigation revealed what appeared to be bullet holes in a glass door and nearby bloodstains. The bodies were later concealed with a yellow tarp. Inside the apartment, a teddy bear, a box of roses with a heart on it, and a television that was still on were noticeable.
The police were notified of the incident by ShotSpotter, a gunfire detection program. The system registered at least five shots fired in rapid succession, followed by a brief pause and then a sixth gunshot. A resident living across the street reported hearing screams and gunshots, followed by the arrival of police cars.
Sabrina Krasniqi, also known by her maiden name Sabrina Dzaferovic, was a model who had been featured in a 2021 Inside Edition segment. The segment involved her wearing a mask around Times Square in New York City to see how many men would catcall her.
The incident has also garnered attention in Albania, as the couple were Kosovar Albanian nationals with ties to New York and Peja, Kosovo. The police have categorized their deaths as a murder-suicide, but have not yet revealed what led to the fatal gunfire. The investigation is still in progress.
