32-year-old Arlind Bushati also died in the hospital, who was shot with a barrage of bullets in the assassination that took place this afternoon in Dobraç, Shkodra, bringing the number of victims to three. 

Arlind Bushati, the son of the former candidate for mayor of Shkodra, Xhemal Bushati, was in the car with Hamza Lici, the brother of Ibrahim Lici, when they were shot with a volley of automatic weapons.

Meanwhile, the other victim is a bystander, 56-year-old Flutura Basha, while her husband, 67-year-old Bashkim Basha is fighting for his life in the hospital.

It is suspected that the target of the assassination was Hamza Lici. According to a preliminary announcement by the police, the two were traveling in a Benz car, with Belgian license plates, when they were shot by another moving car. The Benz vehicle allegedly lost control and, as a result, collided with a motorcycle on which the Basha couple was traveling. 

The victim of the assassination attempt, Hamza Lici, is the son of Mustafa Lici, for many years the leader of a small party, the "Mendimi i Diahtë Liberal" party, and a former municipal councilor. He is also the brother of Ibrahim Lici, a person wanted by the police for involvement in several serious criminal offences.

On October 10 of this year, Arlind Bushati was threatened with a gun in front of a bar in the center of the city of Shkodra, right next to his apartment, by two people who were moving on a motorcycle. A day later, he made a report to the local police, but without announcing whether or not he had identified the perpetrators. Meanwhile, in March 2022, a quantity of tritol was placed in his parents' apartment.

The perpetrators of this incident have not been identified by the police.
Today's attack in Shkodër is suspected to be related to the activity of criminal groups, which have been operating for many years in this city and which have caused a number of murders and other criminal acts.
