A rapper has died after shots were fired in a parking garage in Gothenburg, Sweden. The award-winning 25-year-old, who performed under the pseudonym C.Gambino, was found with a serious gunshot wound on Wednesday evening, police said. He later died in hospital from his injuries. No arrests have been made yet.
“We suspect that the crime is related to the gang environment,” the Gothenburg police spokesman said, but declined to provide further details. There are connections between the Swedish artist and one or more criminal networks. It is believed it was a gang attack and that shots were fired deliberately in a public car park in the west of the city of Gothenburg.
Sweden has been fighting organized crime for years
Sweden has struggled for years to curb violence linked to organized crime. In the country of ten million inhabitants, such crimes have more than tripled in the past ten years and are well above the levels in neighboring countries. The police estimate that 62,000 people are active in criminal networks or have connections with them.

Nearly a million listeners on Spotify
C.Gambino, who has almost a million monthly listeners on the streaming service Spotify, kept his identity hidden and wore a mask in public. This was also the case last month at the Swedish music prize Grammis, where he was named Swedish hip-hop artist of the year 2023. The late artist should not be confused with the American artist Childish Gambino.
In 2021, 19-year-old musician Einár, whose real name was Nils Kurt Erik Einar Grönberg, was shot dead at night in a residential area in Hammarby Sjöstad, south of Stockholm.
