The order to the killer: “Empty all the bullets bro”

Sweden has been rocked again by deadly gang violence since the gun murders followed each other in the past week. As many times before in 2023, Foxtrot is singled out as the driving force, a gang led by the man known as the Kurdish Fox.

According to media reports, the deadly deals are rooted in an internal conflict, which started in Turkey and then escalated in Sweden when the mother of one of the Kurdish fox’s former allies was shot dead in Uppsala.

“The fox”, who is detained in Sweden in his absence for serious drug crimes and preparation for murder, is believed to be hiding from justice in Turkey, where he has obtained citizenship. From there, with the help of his henchmen in Sweden, he persuades children and young people to commit serious acts of violence in the gang war, according to the police.

“The perpetrators are often young people with no previously known connections to the instigators, organizers or victims,” ​​the police write in a PM where Foxtrot’s methods are described.

Murder in Skogås

A boy who has now turned 16 and will soon be put on trial for the murder of a boy of the same age at a restaurant in Skogås south of Stockholm in January is, according to the investigation, a clear example of what it can look like.

In chats obtained by the police, it is shown how the fatal shooting is planned for days before it is carried out. The victim is mapped, weapons are prepared, acquaintances of the target are engaged to lure him out, and the killer is provided with an apartment to hide in after the crime.

Throughout the process, he is instructed via chats how to act and where to go. Here you can also see how he is cheered up before the murder.

“Brother don’t stress everything kmr (will) go well,” writes one person. “Brother please finish him off with all the shots,” writes another.

At 6 p.m., the profile that can be linked to the shooter states that he sees the target sitting inside the restaurant.

“Shall I take him in there,” he asks.

“Aa brother. They perfect. Go in and get him”, he gets in response from a person who then sends a heart and continues: “Shoot him in the head and empty all the bullets brother until it runs out”.

Alone in the restaurant

Just minutes later, the first alarm comes.

The investigation has shown that the boy is the only customer inside the restaurant when the shooter enters. He is sitting with his back to the front door, and when he turns to look back, he is shot in the head. The shooter then disappears from the scene.

In the subsequent chats, the rawness that exists within the networks is visible – an attitude that seems to be quickly adopted by young so-called performers.

“1 shot 1 kill”, writes the profile linked to the 16-year-old to a friend shortly after the murder.

“Hbahahahahahha. Headshot?” he receives in response from the friend, who is now charged with failure to disclose murder.

Revenge after shooting

A probable motive for the murder is that it was suspected that the boy who was shot dead participated in a shooting just over a week earlier at a residence near a relative of the Kurdish fox. The police judged that it was a mistaken shooting and that the relative was actually the target.

That desire to avenge past acts of violence is also believed to be what drives the current spiral of violence in Uppsala and Stockholm.

The accused boy has consistently denied involvement in the murder.
