“There were several people who called that they heard shots and pretty soon we found out that it was a man lying on the ground,” says the police spokesperson Mats Eriksson.
Medical personnel at the scene determined that the man was dead.
A preliminary investigation into murder has been launched and the police have a large effort in the area to check people and vehicles and to speak to witnesses who may have seen or heard something.
“We have no suspects arrested at the moment,” says Eriksson.
He also says that it is still too early to say whether the murder is connected to the recent acts of violence in, among other places, Stockholm.
