A Swedish hip-hop star has been reportedly shot dead in a car park with disturbing footage of the apparent killing emerging online.
According to the BBC, citing several Swedish newspapers, rapper Gaboro was gunned down in a parking garage on Friday night in the city of Norrkoping, southwest of the capital Stockholm.
In the disturbing video spreading across social media platforms, a person carrying a handgun and seemingly wearing a bodycam video could be seen firing multiple shots inside a parking garage, hitting a man as he attempted to run for his life.
The rapper was heard saying “I beg you” before he was shot multiple times.
The rapper – real name Ninos Khouri – was unable to get away from his shooter with police later confirming that a man in his 20s had been found injured at the scene and was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that police would not confirm if the video was related to the shooting, but said it will be examined as part of their investigation.
Gaboro is known for obscuring his identity during his performances and music videos by wearing a balaclava and sunglasses to hide his face.
He first burst onto the rap scene in 2022 with the release of his song Browski, which has clocked up 1.6 million views on YouTube to date.
In the last two years since its release, Gaboro’s songs have attracted more than 226,000 monthly Spotify listeners.
His most popular single Harki, released just this year, has been streamed on Spotify more than 11 million times.
