In 2018, in the Swedish "no-go zone" of Rinkeby on the outskirts of Stockholm, a 24-year-old man was shot to death in a pizzeria in an execution-style slaying. The shooter was 16 at the time. Both shooter and victim were members of rival gangs. Since the shooter was a juvenile, he was convicted and sentenced to three years in juvenile detention.
On Tuesday, the now-18-year-old convict was on some sort of supervised release in Kungsbacka outside of Gothenburg. He was at a fashion outlet with his guards when two men arrived in a taxi and freed the convicted murderer. Don't ask me what the guards did or whether they were even armed. Now there is a manhunt underway in the Gothenburg area.

Gang Conflict
According to information received by Aftonbladet, the 18-year-old man who was freed in Kungsbacka yesterday is the same person who, in 2018, was convicted for a murder in a pizzeria in Rinkeby on January 8, 2018.
The murder was connected to a conflict between the rival gangs, "Shottaz" and Dödspatrullen in Northwest Stockholm. The gangs, according to police, are "(extremely) violent".
