Prosecutor Discusses C Gambino's Life and Tragic End

The prosecutor has provided insights into the life of the man known by the stage name C Gambino, whose real name was Karar Ramadan. Described by friends and family as a calm and caring individual, he dedicated long hours to his music career. The prosecutor revealed that Ramadan held a degree in information systems, and his choice to perform with a mask was a way to maintain anonymity in his future endeavors.

Ramadan had aspirations for a life beyond music, envisioning a family and a traditional job, but those dreams were abruptly cut short.

On the day of the incident, he was returning home from the gym after spending time with friends. As he parked his car in the garage at Selma Lagerlöfs torg, the prosecutor stated that the suspects had already been present for over half an hour in a silver Volvo.

At least seven shots were fired, two of which struck Ramadan. He managed to call for help but succumbed to his injuries shortly after and was declared dead at the hospital, according to prosecutor Shahrzad Rahimi in court.

The scene where Ramadan was killed became a site for mourning, as flowers and candles were placed in remembrance days after the shooting.

During the court proceedings, Ramadan's father was visibly distressed, seated next to three young men accused of involvement in the murder. A 20-year-old and a 21-year-old are alleged to have ambushed him from the silver vehicle and face murder charges. Both have denied any wrongdoing.

The third individual, also 20, is charged with aiding and abetting, suspected of acquiring the vehicle and assisting in planning the murder. He allegedly set the car on fire along with a 19-year-old, who has also been charged but is appearing via video link. The 20-year-old's defense attorney stated that his client purchased the car without knowledge of its intended use for a crime.

The prosecutor indicated that the murder is linked to a long-standing conflict between rival gangs in Biskopsgården, Gothenburg. Several of the accused are described as lower-tier operatives within the Södra Biskopsgården network, as per police intelligence. The prosecutor referenced police reports and observed connections between the accused and known gang affiliates.

Upon the 20-year-old's arrest, he reportedly received letters from prominent figures within the network. The letters contained terms such as '100' and 'lion,' which the prosecutor interpreted as references to individuals involved in murder.

Despite extensive investigations, the prosecutor stated that the motive behind C Gambino's murder remains unclear. This uncertainty is a point of concern for his family, as no substantial motive has emerged. Notably, Ramadan had no prior criminal record, and there is no evidence suggesting his involvement in any gang activities. However, the prosecutor speculated that he may have associated with individuals linked to the Norra Biskopsgården network, naming a person seen with him in public settings who is identified by police as a lower-tier member of that gang.

The trial is expected to continue for eleven days, concluding in July.
