The Åklagarmyndigheten has charged two people for involvement in the murder of a 23-year-old man shot in a parking garage in Norrköping on December 19, 2024, according to official sources. A 22-year-old man is charged with murder and aggravated weapons offense, and a 30-year-old man is charged with aiding murder, according to official sources. Senior prosecutor Thomas Ramstedt stated that the murder was very brutal and a pure execution, according to official sources.

According to official sources, 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 minutes after leaving. The perpetrator shot at least ten shots at the victim, who was hit by several shots and fell to the ground, according to official sources. Multiple reports indicate the murderer appeared behind Gaboro as he was heading to his car in the Spiran parking garage and fired several shots, with the shooter, a 22-year-old, hitting the rapper with five shots, according to official sources.

Technical evidence and interrogation information support the charges, according to the Åklagarmyndigheten. Several witnesses have identified the 22-year-old, according to official sources, and friends of the suspect say he talked about the murder with them, according to official sources. A 22-year-old man told his female friends that he was the one who shot and killed rapper Gaboro, according to official sources, and a high school girl friend sent a message to the 22-year-old saying it was him and to admit it hours after the shooting, according to official sources. Another friend said the 22-year-old got money despite not working and told her he had previously shot at a house in Gusum, according to official sources.

The 22-year-old is also charged with attempted murder and aggravated weapons offense regarding a shooting at a residence in a multi-family house in Gusum on December 11, 2024, according to official sources. He is additionally charged with an aggravated weapons offense during the period March 3-9, 2025, within Finspång municipality, according to official sources.

A 30-year-old man has been charged with aiding and abetting the murder, including helping to obtain a getaway car and driving and hiding the younger man after the shooting, according to multiple reports.

Both men deny the charges, according to major media sources. The identities of the detained are currently covered by secrecy, according to official sources.

I was only tasked with guarding a bag.

Several people have been suspected in the case, but currently two people are detained, according to official sources. One person was detained in spring 2025 suspected of murder, and another was arrested abroad last autumn suspected of aiding murder, according to official sources.

According to local outlet Expressen, Gaboro had been convicted of minor drug offences and had links to a gang.

The murder was filmed and spread quickly on social media, amplifying its public impact, according to official sources.

No comment.

Well-used sneakers have become an important piece of evidence in the murder investigation, according to multiple reports. The case number in Norrköping District Court is B 5124-24, according to official sources.

When calls about the shooting in central Norrköping came in, there were no ambulances left in the entire city due to a large fire at a paper mill, according to multiple reports.

Research indicates police were informed of a shooting in a parking lot in central Norrköping at around 8pm last night, according to officers. Once they arrived at the scene, police found Gaboro with gunshot wounds, according to officers. He was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries, according to officers.

This murder is perhaps one of the worst he and his investigation team have handled.

A contradiction exists regarding the status of arrests: while two people have been charged, according to officers, no arrests have been made yet and the search for the killer continues.

The prosecutor is available for media only by phone on April 10 from 11-12 at 010-562 58 82, according to official sources.

The shooting is believed to have been carried out on assignment and part of a gang conflict, according to multiple reports. Senior prosecutor Thomas Ramstedt added that the investigation has been extensive and complicated, requiring perseverance, and the police investigation group has done a very good job, according to official sources. According to Expressen, Jan Staaf described this murder as perhaps one of the worst he and his investigation team have handled.

Key unknowns remain, including the specific motive behind the murder, the exact content and origin of the video evidence, and how the perpetrator obtained the weapon. The nature and extent of Gaboro's alleged gang links are also unclear, and the current legal status and next court dates for the two charged individuals have not been disclosed. According to Expressen, the 22-year-old man described joking about killing Gaboro and being only tasked with guarding a bag, while also offering no comment on the allegations.
