The Murder Shakes: "Terrible That It Ended Like This"

The fatal shooting of a rapper in a parking garage in the middle of the city is shaking the people of Norrköping. It's clear that you get shocked, says Sebastian.

A bouquet of red roses is leaning against a wall in the parking garage Spiran in central Norrköping.

It was right here it happened, says a young man who arrived on an electric scooter on Friday morning.

The man, who wants to remain anonymous, says he has listened to the rapper's music and came to see it with his own eyes.

It's terrible that it should end like this, he says.

Hard to sleep

He says he saw the film that was spread on social media on Thursday evening, which is said to show the fatal shooting.

It was a bit hard to sleep after that. It's unpleasant, you don't want this kind of thing to happen in Sweden.

Outside, at the entrance to the garage, someone has placed another bouquet of red roses. There are also three blown-out candles. Three girls come by with each a candle that they light and place next to, before quickly leaving the spot.

This Friday, many people are passing by the spot in the Innerstan quarter, "a meeting place for all moments of life", according to an advertisement on the outside of the garage.

It can't get more central than this, says Norrköping resident Sebastian.

He was born and raised in the city and does not want to give his last name. Although he says he is shocked, he is not directly surprised by the shooting on Thursday evening.

You get a bit desensitized.

He describes it as the development has gone in the wrong direction in the city in recent years. Previously, the criminals operated on the outskirts, but in recent years, the violence has crept into the center.

It's a bit unsettling.

Good music

Two girls who pass by the parking garage at lunchtime on Friday stop and approach.

We heard he died. We just wanted to check if it was about him or not, says one of them.

Both of them knew the rapper, who has been big, not least among young people in Norrköping.

Yes, it's good music. It's terrible that he's gone.
