The police received several calls about a loud bang in the area at 21:00 and initiated a comprehensive police operation to search for one or more perpetrators.

The police have launched a preliminary investigation into murder, serious crime against the law on flammable and explosive goods, and public endangerment.

We are trying to find out what this is and how it happened, says the police's press spokesperson Mats Eriksson.

The deceased person was found, according to the police, "in connection with the car", but no closer details are given. Whether the car's owner is known to the police from before, they do not want to comment on either.

A large cordon is in place and technicians are working to secure evidence.
