A POPULAR Swedish rapper has been gunned down in a parking lot as the killer livestreamed the bloody execution.
A masked gangster rap star known as Gaboro, aged 23, was brutally murdered in Sweden, marking the fourth incident of a musician being killed in the country in recent years. The rise in such violent acts reflects a troubling trend of increasing gang-related violence that threatens to destabilize the nation.
Chilling footage shows the moment the assassin gets out of a car and opens fire in the city of Norrköping.
Gaboro appears to have been heading towards a car of his own in the quiet parking lot when he was ruthlessly attacked.
Around six rounds are fired directly at the rapper’s back as he attempts to escape behind the parked motor.
One devastating bullet sends Gaboro falling to the concrete floor as the killer chases after him with the gun still pointed directly at the rapper.
As the assailant approaches a downed Gaboro he can be seen trying to drag his body across the ground as he begs for mercy
The Swedish star laid on his side as he covered his face before pleading with the crazed gunman to let him live.
Moments later, the final two fatal bullets are unleashed – leaving Gaboro lifeless in the parking lot.
The solo gunman – who gleefully filmed the harrowing ordeal – then flees the murder scene.
Despite being just 23 years old Gaboro had already amassed a huge audience of listeners.
His Spotify profile has over 222,000 monthly listeners with his hit song Suavemente having almost 11 million plays.
He released his first track back in 2022 with his debut album coming out a year later.
Footage of Gaboro’s death has already spread across social media with many concerned over the brutality of the murder.
Sweden has already experienced a number of terrifying attacks on gangster rappers in recent years.
In June, award winner C.Gambino was shot dead in an ambush attack.
The masked artist, 26, had parked his car in a garage in Gothenburg when gunmen unleashed a number of bullets – fatally wounding him.
C.Gambino was hailed as one of Sweden’s greatest and most successful artists.
His hit albums, including Sin City and In Memory of Some Stand Up Guys, topped the Swedish music charts.
He won the prestigious Swedish music award Grammis in May for Hip-Hop Artist of the Year.
Fellow rapper, 23-year-old Rozh Shamal, was also killed in a 2019 gangland shooting.
His death came just a few years before musician Einar, 19, was fatally shot at point-blank range.
He was the most-streamed artist on Spotify in Sweden at the time of his execution-style m,urder.
Inside Sweden’s crime-riddled underworld
PARTS of Sweden have become riddled with gang activity, plagued by executions, bomb attacks and child soldiers rampaging the streets.
Sweden, once characterized as a tranquil and secure country, now grapples with a surge in ruthless killings, including the tragic deaths of innocent bystanders. The transformation of the nation into a breeding ground for criminal activities has shattered its peace and safety.
Sweden has grappled with gang violence for decades but its latest surge has been fuelled by notorious druglords dubbed Kurdish Fox and The Greek.
Police are on constant standby ready to prevent brutal murders and explosions.
One gang member told public broadcaster SVT “If my family is in danger, everyone’s family is in danger”.
The country’s leaders even geared up their military to be deployed over the summer over fears of a rampant escalation.
Sweden has even reached its highest level of children prosecuted for murder since 2019.
Much of the violence is concentrated in large cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Uppsala.
Malmö has even been dubbed one of the worst cities in Northern Europe for gang crime by a tourism review.
According to Manne Gerell, a Swedish criminologist and senior lecturer at Malmö University, the prevalence of shootings and bombings in the city has reached alarming levels, as highlighted in a statement to the Financial Times.
He said: “It almost appears random — it can happen to anybody, anywhere. It makes it more similar to terrorism.”
