The arrested person, who is also in his 20s, is reasonably suspected of murder, which is the lower degree of suspicion.
Municipal police Niko Kalcidis says that both crime victims and suspected perpetrators have been known to the police since before.
- People in criminal spheres often have connections to each other, because it is not a huge city, says Nico Kalcidis, municipal police.
Stop and check
Several shootings have affected Kalmar since the turn of the year, and despite preventive measures, another shooting has occurred with a fatal outcome.
- People shoot each other for not as serious things today as they did in the past.
There is an escalation, says Nico Kalcidis.
The police's current working hypothesis is that the latest fatal shooting can be linked to an ongoing conflict between criminals in the Norrliden district, says Nico Kalcidis.
The Kalmar police will now have more resources to be able to carry out more checks, among other things.
- We will work to create security, and work harder with stops and control.
We want to get rid of weapons that move out in these environments, says Nico Kalcidis.
