Made concessions
The suspect was arrested just a few hundred meters from the shooting at an apartment hotel shortly after the crime. According to Aftonbladet’s information, he must have made certain concessions regarding the shooting, among other things, it must be the wrong person who was shot.
During the evening, the arrested youth was said to have been armed when he moved around the area and then ended up in some form of “argument” which led to shots being fired, according to information given to Aftonbladet.
In connection with the fact that the arrested youth received the “contract” for the shooting, he should also have received instructions on how to use a weapon, according to the information.
