  "account": "A gunman remains at large after shooting a 39-year-old Albanian man, Luka Beqiraj, dead on a bar terrace in Orihuela Costa. The attack occurred on Playa Flamenca Sport Club's terrace before the suspect fled on an electric scooter. Beqiraj, convicted of drug trafficking in Italy in 2020, was targeted as he sat with three others. He was shot multiple times, including once in the head, and managed to flee before the shooter departed. Police are investigating the attack, which lasted less than three minutes, and examining potential connections to the drone spotted flying over the area. The motive for the killing is unclear, but suspicions point towards an organized assassination involving past disputes, including drug-related conflicts. Beqiraj was among six people arrested in 2019 as part of Operation Spring Flowers, a joint Albanian and Italian investigation targeting drug smuggling, firearms, and ammunition trafficking.",
