The boy was shot to death in close proximity to a grocery store in the Marielund district, and during the night and day intensive police work has been going on, including technical examination and door knocking.
The police confirm that the boy is part of the conflict environment in Norrköping.
– He has been known to us since before, says local police area manager Frida Braf to SVT Nyheter Öst.
Elevated threat image
For some time, there has been an elevated threat picture in the criminal environment in Norrköping and this can lead to more serious crimes.
– We do not rule it out, Frida Braf continues.
On November 28, a man in his 20s was shot dead inside a restaurant in the same district. It is being investigated whether Wednesday’s shooting is connected to that incident.
