On a Sunday evening in Commerce Township, Michigan, 44-year-old Francesk ’Franco’ Shkambi was shot multiple times outside Prime 7 restaurant on Cooley Lake Road at about 9:38 p.m. He was called outside during a Detroit Lions watch party, was found gravely wounded on the patio, received emergency care, and died after being rushed to a local hospital. The restaurant briefly closed as staff and family mourned a man described as quiet, hardworking, and devoted to his family.

About 20 minutes after the shooting, a 65-year-old Farmington Hills man, Tonin Pjetri, walked into a police station and surrendered. Deputies recovered a 9mm handgun believed to be the weapon; it was later reported stolen. Shkambi and Pjetri were known to each other and had a long-running dispute that investigators say escalated. Pjetri was charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm offenses, arraigned, held without bond, and entered a not guilty plea.

Does anyone who knew Francesk or saw the events at Prime 7 that night have information that could help clarify what led to the shooting?
