Late on Tuesday evening, a 16-year-old boy was found with a gunshot wound on a bike path in the Barrsätra district in Sandviken. The boy was taken to hospital but his life could not be saved.
The police believe that the murdered boy is not known to them from before, but that there are circumstances that point to the crime having taken place in the criminal environment.
No suspect
The shooting is being investigated as a detective murder, which means that the perpetrator is unknown and that special measures will be required to find the person. Almost a week after the murder, there is still no suspect.
– We are still working with information gathering to form a picture of what has happened, says police spokesperson Jonas Eronen.
