Gaboro, a Swedish rapper known for appearing masked at all times, was shot and killed last week in a parking garage located near the city of Stockholm. A video was shortly released with reports suggesting it may depict the final moments of Gaboro’s life although the authorities have yet to confirm it.
In a report from the BBC, Gaboro, real name Ninos Khouri, was found dead in the city of Norrköping on Thursday (Dec. 19) according to local outlets. From what we gathered from the report, it appears that Khouri was found suffering from gunshot wounds and died later at a nearby hospital due to his injuries.
Some outlets have shared reported footage of the shooting, which features an over-the-shoulder vantage point although the validity of the footage is still under question. The video takes place inside a multilevel parking structure and shows the gunman running down another individual assumed to be Gaboro. According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, police say that the video is part of their ongoing investigation.
Khouri first hit it big when in 2022, his song “Browski” went viral and became a known commodity on TikTok and other social media spaces. On Spotify, Khouri earned millions of streams and had well over 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. His 2024 single “Harki” amassed over 11 million views on the streaming site.
Online, tributes for Gaboro have cropped up, most especially from fellow Swedish artists and others from the music scene, such as DJ Alan Max and fellow rapper Imenella.
