A 25-year-old man was shot dead in the Nya Bruket residential area in central Sandviken.

The police were alerted to the scene around 18:00, after receiving calls about loud bangs.

Witnesses found the injured man outside, who was then transported by ambulance to the hospital.

He later succumbed to his injuries.

No arrests have been made so far, and the incident is being investigated as a potential murder.

The police are actively engaging with locals for any leads.

Speculations are being made about possible connections to the ongoing Foxtrot conflict, but it's too early to confirm anything.

The police are still investigating possible motives.
