Two gang members showed up at the home of murdered rapper C. Gambino's colleague in an extortion attempt captured on surveillance footage. The incident occurred less than a year after the Grammy-winning artist was shot dead in a Gothenburg parking garage.
Today marks the conclusion of appellate court proceedings following Gambino's 2024 murder. The attack on his colleague represents the ongoing violence connected to Sweden's longest-running gang conflict in Biskopsgården.
Surveillance video shows the moment two men arrived at the colleague's doorstep. They later received one-year prison sentences for attempted aggravated extortion. The court heard how the southern Biskopsgården network believed Gambino's success was funding their rivals in northern Biskopsgården.
Why target someone with no gang connections? The answer reveals how Sweden's gang wars now ensnare innocent civilians. Gambino had no criminal record and clear gang ties, yet his musical achievements made him a target.
In related cases, a 16-year-old received eight months in youth detention for an explosion targeting Gambino's record label executive. Shots were also fired at the label's Stockholm offices, forcing employees to work from home.
Three young men connected to the southern Biskopsgården network received sentences ranging from life to 12.5 years for aiding Gambino's murder. No one has been convicted of directly carrying out the killing.
The Biskopsgården conflict has claimed 28 lives over 13 years, making it Sweden's most prolonged and bloody gang war. The violence continues despite police efforts to contain it.
