People who are involved in serious crime in various ways run the risk of being exposed to serious violent acts, says the police's press spokesperson Nils Norling.
But the police are working to prevent possible revenge actions, he emphasizes.
We have a strong focus on preventing further violent acts.
The man, who was in his 20s, was shot outdoors on Kattarpstorget and then took himself to a restaurant, where he is believed to have sought help. The alarm to the police came shortly after 5 pm on Monday.
A large number of witnesses have been heard, but so far no one has been detained.
According to Norling, the police do not believe it was a so-called mistaken shooting.
No, we do not have any immediate suspicions. The deceased man has connections to the serious criminal environments in Malmö, he says.
