A teenage boy has been detained on suspicion of aiding and abetting murder following a fatal shooting in Bagarmossen, southern Stockholm. The shooting, which occurred on October 23, claimed the life of a 27-year-old man who was shot dead while sitting in his car. Prosecutors have suggested that the attack was a case of mistaken identity, with the victim not being the intended target.

The suspect, who is over 15 years old, was arrested on the morning of November 14 and is currently held on probable cause for complicity in the murder. He denies any wrongdoing connected to the incident. Alongside the teenager, a 36-year-old man is already in custody, suspected of carrying out the shooting.

Two other individuals — a man and a woman — were initially suspected of aiding the crime but have since been released after questioning. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the potential involvement of other parties.

This development followed an intense police inquiry into the deadly October incident in Bagarmossen, which has shocked the local community. The arrest of the teenager marks a key step in the ongoing efforts to hold those responsible accountable.
