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. According to the Åklagarmyndigheten, a 22-year-old man is charged with murder and aggravated weapons offense, while a 30-year-old man is charged with aiding murder. The rapper Gaboro was shot to death in a parking garage in central Norrköping on that date.
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. According to major media reports, Gaboro was on his way to his car in the parking garage Spiran when the murderer appeared behind him and fired several shots. Official sources indicate the perpetrator shot at least ten shots at the victim, who was hit by several shots and fell to the ground.
The perpetrator filmed the murder, and the video was posted on social media the same evening and gained wide spread.
In addition to the murder charges, 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 Åklagarmyndigheten further reports that the 22-year-old is charged with an aggravated weapons offense during the period March 3-9, 2025, within Finspång municipality.
Prosecutor Thomas Ramstedt stated there is technical evidence and interrogation information supporting the charges. According to major media reports, a pair of well-used sneakers has become an important piece in the murder investigation of Gaboro.
Several people have been suspected in the case, but currently two people are detained, according to official sources. The identities of the detained are currently covered by secrecy, and one person was detained in spring 2025 suspected of murder, with another arrested abroad in the previous autumn suspected of aiding murder.
A large fire was raging at a paper mill at Bråviken at the same time as the murder, according to major media reports. Police and ambulances from both Linköping and Norrköping were sent to the fire, leaving no ambulances available in Norrköping when the shooting was reported.
Police were informed of a shooting in a parking lot in central Norrköping at around 8pm last night. Police found Gaboro with gunshot wounds at the scene, and he was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries.
Contradictions exist in reports about the number of people charged and the status of arrests. While two men are charged for the murder of rapper Gaboro, major media reports state a young man has been charged. Similarly, according to officers, no arrests have been made yet and the search for the killer continues, but two people have been charged for involvement in the murder.
According to local outlet Expressen, Gaboro had been convicted of minor drug offences and had links to a gang.
The case number in Norrköping District Court is B 5124-24, according to official sources. The prosecutor is available for media by phone on April 10 from 11-12 at 010-562 58 82.
Key unknowns in this case include the exact relationship between the charged individuals and the victim, Gaboro. Additionally, the nature of the technical evidence, such as from the sneakers or video, and why the identities of the detained are covered by secrecy in some reports but disclosed in others remain unclear.
Further unknowns involve the motive behind the murder of Gaboro and how the concurrent fire at the paper mill impacted the emergency response and investigation.
