Two people have been charged for involvement in the murder of a 23-year-old man shot in a parking garage in Norrköping on December 19, 2024. The rapper Gaboro was shot to death in a parking garage in central Norrköping on December 19, 2024. A 22-year-old man is charged with murder and aggravated weapons offense.

A 30-year-old man is charged with aiding murder. The 22-year-old is also charged with attempted murder and aggravated weapons offense for a shooting at a residence in a multi-family house in Gusum on December 11, 2024. The 22-year-old is charged with an aggravated weapons offense during the period March 3-9, 2025, within Finspång municipality.

The victim visited a gym in central Norrköping on the evening of December 19, 2024, and was shot in a parking garage in the same building. Police were informed of a shooting in a parking lot in central Norrköping at around 8pm last night. The perpetrator shot at least ten shots at the victim, who was hit by several shots and fell to the ground.

Police found Gaboro with gunshot wounds at the scene. Gaboro was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries. The perpetrator filmed the murder, and the video was posted on social media the same evening and spread widely.

The investigation includes technical evidence and interrogation information, and was extensive and complicated. The case number in Norrköping District Court is B 5124-24. The prosecutor is available for media by phone on April 10 from 11-12 at 010-562 58 82.

Several people have been suspected in the case, but currently two people are detained. The identities of the detained are currently covered by secrecy. One person was detained in spring 2025 suspected of murder, and another was arrested abroad last autumn suspected of aiding murder.

A large fire was raging at a paper mill at Bråviken at the same time as the shooting. Police and ambulances from both Linköping and Norrköping were sent to the fire. When calls about the shooting in central Norrköping came, there were no ambulances left in the entire city.

The nearest ambulance was in Söderk. According to local outlet Expressen, Gaboro had been convicted of minor drug offences and had links to a gang. The exact relationship between the victim and the perpetrators remains unknown.

What specific evidence led to the charges against the two individuals has not been publicly disclosed. Why there were no ambulances available in Norrköping at the time of the shooting relates directly to the simultaneous paper mill fire. What the current status is of the video circulating on social media remains unclear.

Are there any known motives for the murder represents perhaps the most significant unknown. The charges follow an extensive investigation that involved multiple lines of inquiry. The prosecutor has indicated that the case was particularly challenging due to its complexity.

The detention of the suspects has been shrouded in secrecy, with their identities protected under current legal provisions. The emergency response to the shooting was hampered by a concurrent major incident, highlighting resource allocation issues. Gaboro's background includes prior legal troubles and alleged gang affiliations, which may provide context for the crime.

The ongoing legal proceedings will determine the outcome of these serious allegations.
