According to the Hallandale Beach Police Department, the two dead were Sabrina Dzaferovic, also known as Sabrina Krasniqi, and her husband Pajtim Krasniqi.

“She betrayed him, his love, and his trust. She shattered my family. My siblings and I will never be the same. I’m terrified my mother will not ever recover,” the grieving woman wrote on Thursday.

The crime scene was at apartment 4508 at 1830 South Ocean Drive. A Shot Spotter recorded five quick gunshots fired, a short pause, and a sixth gunshot.

Aerial images of the apartment with an ocean view showed a heart-shaped box with roses and a teddy bear. A yellow tarp covered a body on the balcony.

The Krasniqi family has connections to New York and to Peja, Kosovo, where news of the murder-suicide also made headlines in Albanian.
