Sweden charges four over killing of hip hop star C.Gambino

Four individuals face trial for the 2024 murder of Karar Ramadan (C.Gambino), a Swedish hip hop artist honored as the year's top artist. The killing occurred in Gothenburg's parking garage, with two men charged with murder and weapon offenses, one accused of aiding a criminal act, and another receiving additional charges for assisting in murder. The prosecution noted it was part of an ongoing gang conflict without direct ties to C.Gambino. Meanwhile, Sweden has grappled with rising gang violence, seen in the fatal shooting of another rapper, Einar, in Stockholm earlier that year.
