Swedish rapper Gaboro was reportedly shot and killed in a parking lot in Norrkoping on Thursday, December 19, according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
A graphic video allegedly capturing the killing has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage.
The 19-second clip, filmed from a first-person perspective, shows a man approaching another individual near a white SUV with a gun. The assailant fires multiple shots, causing the victim to collapse while pleading, “I beg you” in Swedish. The gunman then fires additional shots, leaving the victim motionless.
Authorities have not confirmed the video’s authenticity or its connection to Gaboro’s alleged murder. Police were alerted to the shooting at 8:27 p.m. Upon arrival, they discovered a man in his 20s with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
While the police have not officially identified the victim, they stated that the individual was known to them. Mats Pettersson, a spokesperson for the police in the East region, commented, “It is a man in his 20s, we know who he is and we have a good knowledge of him from before.”
Gaboro, a rising star in Sweden’s music scene, reportedly had ties to criminal networks. This tragic incident adds to the growing list of Swedish artists targeted in the country’s escalating gang violence.
Police are continuing their investigation into the murder, which has intensified concerns about the surge in violent crime linked to gang conflicts in Sweden.
