Masked 26-year-old rapper C.Gambino — whose real name was Karar Ramadan, and not to be confused with American rapper Childish Gambino — was the victim of a shooting in a parking garage in the city of Gothenburg on June 4, 2024.

A total of four men were charged over the killing, two of which had been charged with “murder or aiding and abetting murder” but the court could not definitely establish that the two had fired the killing shots.

“The shooting was akin to an execution and caused the victim severe suffering,” judge Anne Rapp said in a statement.
