It was on July 9, 2024 that the 16-year-old was shot dead on a walkway in Bagarmossen. He is described as a caring guy who played basketball, went to church and who had a nice relationship with family and friends. The murder aroused strong reactions and just days after, hundreds gathered in Bagarmossen for manifestation against the violence.
Nothing in the investigation has shown that the 16-year-old was a criminal. However, he was a friend of people who the prosecutors believe can be linked to criminal groups in Bagarmossen and Skarpnäck.
The suspects are two teenage boys from northern Sweden. One of them has relatives and friends in Stockholm and the boys were here to visit. Now the 17-year-old is charged with murder, attempted murder and preparation for murder. The 15-year-old has been identified as assistants.
Prosecutors have requested 12 years in prison for the murdered and 2.5 year closed youth care for the assistant.
So what led to the acclaimed shooting of death? See the investigation explained in the video above.
