Artist indicted for shooting in Oslo

A 20-year-old artist with several million streams on streaming services is accused of attempting to murder a boy after a shooting at Stovner in Oslo last fall.

A friend was accused of assisting the artist by driving a car with the two away from the scene after the shooting, he reports TV2.

Prosecutor Peter Andre Johansen will not comment on information to the channel that police found a weapon in a bag that the accused artist threw away.

The criminal case for the Oslo district court has not yet been scheduled.

Was October 25 last year that a boy was seriously injured by two blows in the stomach near the Stovner center.

Police blocked a pedestrian underpass as a crime scene. Surveillance images show the defendant and the boy talking inside the front center.

The boy survived and the wanted man, now accused, turned himself in to the police after a couple of days.

– My client denies guilt. Beyond that, we have no comments, says the defender, lawyer Usama Ahmad, in Dagbladet.

Attorney Fisnik Baki defends the other defendant in the case, who is also 20 years old.

No explanation

The other defendant, who according to the indictment was driving the runaway car, was charged with attempted murder. The charge was reduced on next service.

– Deny criminal guilt. He also did not explain himself to the police on my advice, the defender tells TV2.

According to the indictment, it appears to be “very unclear” what the reason for the shooting was last fall.
