Overview
- Mossos d'Esquadra confirmed Sunday that the 44-year-old man shot Tuesday had died, reclassifying the case as homicide.
- Local reports identify the victim as Krsto Vujić, known as “Terminator,” an alleged Skaljari clan member wanted in Montenegro for drug trafficking and other crimes.
- The gunman struck at about 3:50 p.m. Tuesday on the terrace of Kibo café in Poblenou as Vujić sat with his partner and baby, with sources saying shots hit his back and he also had a neck wound.
- Police say their main hypothesis is a settling of scores tied to the Skaljari–Kavac rivalry over cocaine trafficking, a conflict blamed for about 60 deaths across Europe and now three in Catalonia.
- Authorities in Catalonia have investigated these Balkan factions since 2017, joining an October operation with Serbian police that led to 13 arrests linked to the Kavac clan.
