A fight at the Bosnian mosque in Örebro the day before a shooting may be connected to the murder of Hugo Mosshagen, according to reports to SVT. Several sources say the fight occurred on Friday evening before the shooting where 20-year-old Hugo Mosshagen was killed. Hugo was reportedly not at the location of the fight, but the person believed to have been the actual target, who was with Hugo the night he was shot, was reportedly involved in the incident.

Sources say the confrontation on Friday evening was preceded by a conflict originating from an event at a nightclub in central Örebro at an earlier time. What happened there and how the people are connected is unclear. Police have not confirmed the reports.

On Sunday, police had an increased presence at the mosque, where technicians also collected surveillance material. A source with insight into the operations said there was reportedly some situation in the parking lot, and they had received questions from police about seeing anything, with camera material handed over. The mosque, located near the site of the fatal shooting, will continue to be open for prayer at regular times, but other activities are affected, according to the Bosnian Islamic Association Örebro on social media.
