Swedish rapper Gaboro was reportedly shot dead in a car park just six months after award-winning rapper C.Gambino was killed in Gothenburg.
A disturbing video allegedly showing the murder of the 24-year-old rapper, whose real name is Ninos Khouri, is circulating on social media.
Footage which was reportedly filmed by the gunman himself appears to show how the shooter ruthlessly strikes his target over and over again as the rapper tries to get away, but is ultimately mowed down.
According to local police, no arrests have been made yet and the search for a perpetrator continues.
Police were informed of a shooting in a parking lot in central Norrköping at around 8pm last night.
Once they arrived at the scene, cops found Gaboro with gunshot wounds.
He was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries moments later.
According to local outlet Expressen, Gaboro had been convicted of minor drug offences and had links to a gang.

The rapper’s death comes just a few months after award-winning Swedish masked rapper C.Gambino was shot dead in a car park ambush.
The 26-year-old, whose real name was Karar Ramadan, was one of Sweden’s biggest rap stars and was named rapper of the year last month.
The artist had parked his car at a garage in Gothenburg where one or more attackers were lying in wait, according to police.
He was shot and hit by multiple bullets, investigators said, with pictures from the scene showing a spray of bullet holes in a glass door.
Police said the killing was ‘linked to a gang conflict’ and that C.Gambino was ‘known to police’.
Sweden had the EU’s highest rate of deadly gun violence per capita last year.
With two weeks left of this year, 40 people have been shot dead in Sweden – a chilling number for a European country of only 10 million people.

That still represents a 35% decrease compared to 2022, the most lethal year of the gang wars, when 63 people were shot dead.
Meanwhile, shootings have decreased by a third to 262 in 2024 from 390 in 2022, police data showed.
There were tentative signs of improvement in 2023, but the sustained decline is giving police confidence they may finally be turning the corner.
Police say gangs have begun using social media platforms as ‘digital marketplaces’ to openly recruit children, some as young as 11, to commit murders and bombings across the Nordic region.

Inexperienced teenagers, seen as expendable by the gangs, are easier for police to catch than those ordering the shootings.
Still, 72% of deadly shootings were solved in 2023, compared to just 29% in 2022, helped in part by surging camera surveillance.
Police aim to employ 2,500 cameras and drones this year, a five-fold increase from five years ago.
