Gangs and the drug trade
Shootings and attacks with improvised explosive devices have been on the rise in Sweden for years.
The incidents are linked to the settling of accounts between rival groups for control of the drug trade, with the country trying to prevent the spread of the phenomenon.
Many famous young artists are victims of this violence.
In June, rapper C.Gambino, 26, real name Karar Ramadan, was killed in a shooting incident.
In fact, a month before his death he had been honored with the title of hip hop music artist of the year in Sweden.
Another Swedish rapper, Einar, was shot dead in Stockholm in a gang rivalry in October 2021.
In 2023, 53 people lost their lives in 363 shooting incidents, often in public places, which in some cases claimed the lives of innocent victims.
