Ninos Moses Khouri (20 December 2000 – 19 December 2024)[1], better known as Gaboro, was a Syrian-Swedish rapper and songwriter from Hageby/Navestad in the south of Norrköping.[2]
Career
[edit]Khouri was born and raised in Hageby/Navestad in Norrköping. In 2022 he debuted with the song "BOGOTÁ" which has been played more than 8 million times on Spotify.[citation needed]
He made his way onto TikTok in 2022, among other things, with the song "Browski." On YouTube, the music video has been viewed millions of times.[citation needed] In the video, Gaboro appears masked with a Syrian eagle printed on a thief's cap and with a cartridge belt, surrounded by masked men. The thief's cap costume with a Syrian eagle was a recurring element in his music videos.[3]
In a short time he gained a large number of followers on social media and reached a wide audience. According to TV4, his unique style made him a favorite of many young people.[4]

On November 27, 2023, a 22-year-old man was shot dead in a restaurant in Marielund, Norrköping. Khouri was also in the restaurant. The 22-year-old belonged to a criminal network that police call the Kalo network. In the police murder investigation, Khouri was described as a friend of the 22-year-old and that they went to the restaurant to eat together. In police investigations it is further revealed that the murder in the restaurant was part of a gang conflict that the Kalonätvernet had with a criminal group from the Marielund district in Norrköping.[6]
