A Swedish court sentenced four men for the murder of rapper C.Gambino, who was fatally shot in June 2024. The court condemned the shooting, comparing it to an execution and noting its ties to criminal networks. One man received a life sentence for aiding and abetting the murder, while others received sentences ranging from ten months to 15 years. C.Gambino was recognized as the hip hop artist of the year shortly before his death, which illustrates the impact of gang violence in Sweden's music scene.
The shooting was akin to an execution and caused the victim severe suffering. Furthermore, the crime had its origins in a conflict between criminal networks and was committed using firearms in a public place, which is a particularly aggravating factor.
A 22-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for aiding and abetting murder because he had participated in the planning and preparation of the murder, notably by providing the car used by the perpetrators.
One of the four men aged 20 was found guilty of both aiding and abetting murder and aggravated harbouring of a criminal was sentenced to 15 years and six months in prison.
C.Gambino was named hip hop artist of the year at the 2024 Swedish recording industry's Grammis Awards the month before his murder.
