A 22-year-old man is charged with murder and aggravated weapons offense, while a 30-year-old man is charged with aiding murder, according to the Swedish Prosecution Authority. These charges stem from the killing of a 23-year-old man, identified in media reports as the rapper Gaboro, who was shot in a parking garage in central Norrköping. The victim visited a gym in the same building earlier that evening. The murder was described as very brutal and a pure execution by senior prosecutor Thomas Ramstedt.
The perpetrator shot at least ten shots at the victim, who was hit by multiple shots and fell to the ground, according to official sources. The perpetrator filmed the murder, and the video was posted on social media the same evening and gained wide spread.
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, according to the Prosecution Authority. He is charged with an aggravated weapons offense during the period March 3-9, 2025, within Finspång municipality.
The investigation includes technical evidence and interrogation information, and was extensive and complicated, the Prosecution Authority noted. 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, official sources report. The identities of the detained are currently covered by secrecy. One person was detained in spring 2025 suspected of murder. One person was arrested abroad in the previous autumn suspected of aiding murder.
Gaboro was a rapper known for songs like Suavemente and Browski, according to multiple media reports. He had been convicted of minor drug offences and had links to a gang, Expressen reports.
A large fire occurred at a paper mill near Bråviken at the same time as the shooting. Police and ambulances from Linköping and Norrköping were sent to the fire. When reports of the shooting came in, there were no ambulances left in Norrköping. The nearest ambulance was in Söderköping.
Police were informed of a shooting in a parking lot in central Norrköping at around 8pm last night, according to police sources. Police found Gaboro with gunshot wounds at the scene. Gaboro was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries.
Key unknowns persist in this case. The motive behind the murder of Gaboro has not been disclosed by authorities. It is unclear if the detained or charged individuals are linked to any gangs. Investigators have not detailed what specific evidence led to the charges against the two individuals.
Further unknowns involve the video evidence. How the video of the murder spread on social media remains unspecified. The precise impact of the simultaneous paper mill fire on the emergency response to the shooting is not quantified.
The implications of this case are broad, touching on issues of gang violence, social media's role in crime, and emergency preparedness. The ongoing investigation continues to explore connections between the charged individuals and other criminal activities.
