Swedish Rapper Gaboro Shot Dead In Unbelievably Bold Attack
Swedish rapper Gaboro was fatally shot in a multi-story car park in Norrköping, southeast of Stockholm, earlier this week.
Known for concealing his identity with a ski mask and sunglasses, the artist, popular in Sweden’s Hip-Hop scene, was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to a hospital.
Fellow artists and fans have taken to social media to honor the 27-year-old rapper, with emotional tributes pouring in.
Swedish DJ Alan Max shared a photo of himself with Gaboro, stating, “Have no words,” while rapper Imenella posted a heartfelt message, saying, “Rest in peace.”
Authorities have confirmed an unsettling video circulating online that appears to document the shooting.
The footage, seemingly captured by the assailant with a body-mounted camera, shows someone brandishing a handgun and firing multiple shots within the parking structure.
Swedish police have acknowledged the video and stated that it is now part of their investigation.
No arrests or suspects have been named at this stage.
Gaboro rose to prominence with the 2024 single Harki, which amassed over 11 million streams on Spotify.
His artistry and enigmatic public persona earned him a strong following, but his untimely death echoes similar tragedies in Sweden’s Hip-Hop community.
In June 2024, rapper C.Gambino — crowned Sweden’s Hip-Hop Artist of the Year weeks earlier — was also killed in a shooting.
Another case that shook the nation was the death of award-winning rapper Einar, who was gunned down in October 2021 amid gang-related tensions.
