Farmington Hills Man Arraigned in Prime 7 Manager’s Killing, Held Without Bond

Prosecutors say the shooting followed a personal dispute outside the Commerce Township restaurant.

  • Tonin Pjetri, 65, was arraigned on first-degree murder and felony firearm charges in the Nov. 16 fatal shooting of Francesk “Franco” Shkambi.
  • A judge denied bond, with a probable cause conference set for Dec. 3 and a preliminary examination scheduled for Dec. 10.
  • The shooting occurred around 9:38 p.m. at 8635 Cooley Lake Road, where a witness found Shkambi on the patio and allegedly saw Pjetri with a gun.
