A large number of people gathered outside the sports hall in Älvsjö to honor and remember the 24-year-old, who worked with children and young people in the area.

Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration has described her as a person who wanted to make a difference for the young people she met through her work.

"She carried a rare warmth that spread to everyone around her and lifted the entire workplace," the administration wrote on social media earlier this week.

At the time of the shooting at the sports hall in Älvsjö on Friday evening, floorball and football matches were being played nearby. On Saturday evening, it was announced that the woman had died.

Two boys, aged 16 and 17, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. Another teenage boy was arrested on Tuesday.
