New details have come to light regarding the execution of Kristian Kola on the evening of September 4 in Shkodra. The victim was sitting at a table with a friend in a bar in the Vasil Shanto neighborhood. According to the information, he had parked his car in front of the bar.
A moment later, a black motorcycle stopped next to him and one of the men got out and shot Kola dead. According to the police, the killer is a professional and may have acted for pay since he did not cause any collateral damage. Although he was less than 1 meter away from the victim, his friend was not hit by the bullets.
The police have reconstructed the dynamics of the crime, but in the meantime there is still no clear motive, because the victim has no criminal record, at least known to the police. A conflict for trivial reasons that occurred 2 years ago turns out to have been clarified last night after the crime. The police have turned their attention to the Dukagjini area where the Kola family is from, a problematic area, to investigate whether this family has old conflicts or those related to the cultivation of cannabis, especially in 2015-2016.
The victim's past abroad will be investigated. What is known is that Kristian Kola was associated with the sons of a well-known Shkodra businessman, but this also remains a lukewarm lead for investigators.
