A renowned figure in the Swedish hip-hop industry, recognized by his stage name Gaboro, was allegedly shot and killed in a parking garage in Norrkoping, a city located southwest of Stockholm. The incident took place on Friday night, as reported by several Swedish media outlets. A chilling video making rounds on social media platforms seems to depict the fatal shooting, featuring an individual brandishing a handgun and apparently wearing a bodycam, firing multiple shots at a man trying to escape.
The video portrays the victim begging for his life before being shot multiple times. However, the authorities have not yet verified if the video is linked to this specific incident. The victim, identified as Ninos Khouri, was discovered injured at the scene and was later declared dead at a hospital, as per police reports.
Gaboro, recognized for his unique style of hiding his identity with a balaclava and sunglasses during performances and music videos, made his first appearance in the rap scene in 2022. His breakthrough song, “Browski,” has accumulated 1.6 million views on YouTube since its launch.
In the last two years, Gaboro’s music has gained a substantial following, with over 226,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. His most popular single, “Harki,” released earlier this year, has been played over 11 million times on the platform.
The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that while the police have not confirmed the link between the video and the shooting, it will be considered in their ongoing investigation. The unfortunate incident has sent ripples through the music industry, especially the hip-hop community, as they grieve the loss of an emerging star.
The investigation into Gaboro’s death is still in progress, and more details will be disclosed as they emerge. The global hip-hop community is mourning the loss of a promising talent, and fans are left to remember Gaboro through his music.
