A 15-year-old boy has been shot dead in Rosengård, Malmö. Police arrested a boy and a girl of the same age suspected of murder near the crime scene. The incident occurred around 6:39 p.m. on Wednesday evening.
Police were alerted at 6:39 p.m. on Wednesday to Ramels väg in Rosengård, Malmö, following calls about an outdoor shooting. Multiple callers reported hearing shots and seeing an injured person, according to spokesperson Filip Annas. The 15-year-old boy who was shot was taken to hospital but died of his injuries shortly before 9 p.m. Relatives have been notified, and the boy was not previously known to police according to some reports. A girl and a boy, both around 15, were arrested near the crime scene and are jointly suspected of murder. “They were arrested in connection to the crime scene. Interrogations will be held with them,” Annas said. The area around an apartment building in Herrgården was cordoned off, with markers placed outside the entrance and a dog search conducted. Forensics secured evidence, including finds at the scene, but no details on a weapon were released. Witnesses are being interviewed, door-to-door inquiries are ongoing, and surveillance cameras are being reviewed in the heavily monitored area. Aftonbladet reported the suspects fled on e-scooters. Rosengård has a history of fatal shootings, most recently in summer 2024, in 2017, and on New Year's Eve 2011 on the same street. Field worker Abdi Jama from Malmö city was on site to support youths, but few wanted to talk.
