Two 15-year-old boys were seriously injured in the shooting that occurred in the stairwell. The police announced on Thursday that one of them had died.

On Saturday, prosecutor Caroline Carlquist is expected to announce whether the men will be requested to be detained. She tells the newspaper that "one or more of them" will be requested to be detained.

The suspects are between 15 and 20 years old, of which three are under 18. All of them are from Malmö.

Exactly how everyone in the constellation knows each other, I cannot say, but they are all part of the same social circle, says Carlquist to Aftonbladet.

The suspicion concerns murder, attempted murder, and serious weapons offenses.

Information to Sydsvenskan has claimed that the two victims were shot by mistake. Carlquist says that it is not something she can comment on.

But it's not about a mistaken shooting in the sense that the intended victim is the wrong person, I don't think that.
