The rapper – real name Ninos Khouri – was unable to get away from his shooter with police later confirming that a man in his 20s had been found injured at the scene and was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that police would not confirm if the video was related to the shooting, but said it will be examined as part of their investigation.

Gaboro is known for obscuring his identity during his performances and music videos by wearing a balaclava and sunglasses to hide his face.
