Two people have been arrested following the incident, police have confirmed.

An alarm was raised at around 4am on Saturday, with a car reported to have sped from the location where the man was found.

“The man was found in an apartment in Sätra, but it is too early to say whether he was shot there,” police spokesperson Per Fahlström told TT.

He was taken to hospital but could not be revived.

A burned-out car found nearby is being examined by police for potential connections to the incident.

On Thursday, two people were found dead in a basement in Sätra, an outlying suburb to the south of Stockholm.

Teenager held over murder of 39-year-old dad in Stockholm

An 18-year-old man has been remanded in custody on suspicion of killing a 39-year-old man in the Stockholm suburb of Skärholmen. The 39-year-old was shot dead in front of his son, on their way to the swimming pool on April 10th, after he told off a group of youths.

The suspect, who was 17 at the time, has since April been in custody in connection with another case. He is suspected of kidnapping and attempted murder after an incident which left an underage boy with gunshot wounds in Skärholmen in December 2023. 

Another two teens are in custody on suspicion of protecting a criminal and a third boy is suspected of aggravated weapons offences.

A further two people are suspected of involvement but are not in custody.

The 18-year-old denies the murder allegations.
