A disturbing video has surfaced showing the fatal shooting of Swedish rapper Gaboro, who was gunned down in a parking lot in Norrköping on December 19.
The footage, reportedly filmed by the gunman himself, captures 24-year-old Gaboro, whose real name was Ninos Khouri, being shot multiple times as he attempted to flee.
Police were alerted to the shooting around 8 p.m. local time. Upon arrival, officers found Gaboro with gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital but tragically died from his injuries shortly afterward. As of now, authorities have not made any arrests, and the search for the shooter continues.
Gaboro, who had ties to local gangs and a criminal record that included minor drug offenses, had been active in the Swedish rap scene. His death comes just months after the murder of another prominent Swedish rapper, C.Gambino, who was shot in a parking lot ambush in Gothenburg on June 4. C.Gambino, whose real name was Karar Ramadan, had been named rapper of the year shortly before his tragic death.
Both rappers’ murders are believed to be linked to ongoing gang violence in Sweden. The country, which has experienced a troubling rise in gun-related incidents in recent years, had the highest rate of deadly shootings per capita in the European Union in 2023. However, police have reported a decrease in shootings, with a higher rate of cases being solved, thanks to increased surveillance measures.
Gang violence continues to be a significant issue, with authorities warning that criminal groups are increasingly using social media platforms to recruit young children for violent acts.
