arrow Update 240411: Mikael, 39, was shot to death in Skärholmen – in front of his son
At 18.15 on Wednesday, the police were alerted to an underpass in Skärholmen in southern Stockholm, where a 39-year-old man was lying with a gunshot wound.
The man was in the company of his young son, who was the one who had to call 112.
Just over three hours later, the police announced that the 39-year-old had died from his injuries.
Details: Reprimanded gangs
As the man is not criminally charged, the initial theory was that it was a “misfire”.
New information about the course of events is now emerging.
According to several of Aftonbladet’s informants, the 39-year-old man must have reprimanded a group of individuals at the underpass in some way. The gang must have been threatening and they got into some kind of fight.
The dispute ended with the man being shot dead. He must have been hit in the head.
A number of perpetrators are said to have then left the scene on so-called fat bikes, a type of electric scooter.

No one is arrested
The police do not want to comment on the information.
– We are working hard on this murder investigation and if you give too many details at this stage, you risk ruining the preliminary investigation, says Carina Skagerlind, the police’s spokesperson in the Stockholm region.
The technical investigation on site has been completed, but the investigative work is continuing. The police will be on site in the area during the day, to collect witness information but also as a safety-creating measure.
No one has yet been arrested, and according to Aftonbladet’s information, no suspect has been named.

Previous murders – and a shooting at a preschool
Yesterday’s shooting is the latest of several in a short time in the Skärholmen district.
On March 1, a man in his 20s was shot to death in a residential area, also at 6 p.m. in the evening.
On March 13, a 25-year-old man was shot, right next to a preschool that was allowed to accommodate the children and staff.
– It is very shocking when it happens so close, said the preschool’s principal to Aftonbladet at the time.
