This is the horrific moment a Swedish rapper begged for his life seconds before he was shot and killed in a parking lot.
Rapper Gaboro tragically died Thursday evening in the shooting in the city of Norrköping, according to Swedish outlet Expressen.
A disturbing video, which was filmed by the gunman, has been circulating online.
The horrifying footage shows how the shooter ruthlessly strikes his target over and over again as the rapper tries to get away.
Gaboro gets struck and drops to his knees, seemingly still alive.
The shooter then approaches the musician again, who is now lying on the ground, and mows him down one last time.
According to local police, no arrests have been made yet and the search for a perpetrator continues.
Police were informed of a shooting in a parking lot in the city center at around 8pm last night.
Sweden had the EU’s highest rate of deadly gun violence per capita last year.

With two weeks left of this year, 40 people have been shot dead in Sweden – a chilling number for a European country of only 10 million people.
That still represents a 35% decrease compared to 2022, the most lethal year of the gang wars, when 63 people were shot dead.
Meanwhile, shootings have decreased by a third to 262 in 2024 from 390 in 2022, police data showed.
There were tentative signs of improvement in 2023, but the sustained decline is giving police confidence they may finally be turning the corner.
Police say gangs have begun using social media platforms as ‘digital marketplaces’ to openly recruit children, some as young as 11, to commit murders and bombings across the Nordic region.

Inexperienced teenagers, seen as expendable by the gangs, are easier for police to catch than those ordering the shootings.
Still, 72% of deadly shootings were solved in 2023, compared to just 29% in 2022, helped in part by surging camera surveillance.
Police aim to employ 2,500 cameras and drones this year, a five-fold increase from five years ago.
