Swedish rapper Hamko was fatally shot Friday afternoon while standing outside a restaurant in Puerto Banus, Spain, in what Spanish officials described as a targeted daylight attack that left tourists scrambling for safety and police swiftly arresting a suspect.

The 25-year-old Swedish rapper was smoking and speaking on his phone around 2:30 p.m. when a gunman stepped out from behind a black van and opened fire at close range.

Surveillance footage captured the shooter tossing his own cigarette before pulling a firearm from behind his back and unleashing several rounds as Hamko tried to duck between tables on the terrace.

A witness added that they heard “six or seven shots” from what sounded like “a very powerful weapon.” Diners and pedestrians nearby dropped to the ground or fled in panic as bullets flew.

Emergency responders transported Hamko to Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella, but he died shortly after arriving.

Authorities later apprehended a 38-year-old man, also Swedish and described by local press as being of Afghan descent, near the scene. Police have not released further details about the suspect or motive.

The killing has reignited scrutiny of Sweden’s ongoing battle with organized crime, especially in light of Karimi’s past ties to Einar, Sweden’s most prominent rapper, who was murdered in Stockholm in October 2021.

Hamko and Einar were reportedly childhood friends who grew up in the same Stockholm neighborhood, though they were no longer close at the time of Einar’s death.

Einar, whose real name was Nils Grönberg, was 19 when he was shot and killed in what police also labeled an execution. He had been expected to testify in a criminal case involving his 2020 kidnapping, which implicated rival rapper Yasin Mahamoud.

Yasin was later convicted for helping lure Einar to a studio where he was attacked.

Spanish authorities have not confirmed whether Hamko’s murder is connected to any gang activity, but the Costa del Sol has increasingly become a hotspot for international criminal networks, including those with ties to Sweden.

A 38-year-old man has been arrested and the investigation is ongoing.

Diddy is gearing up for a legal counterstrike after a federal judge sentenced him to more than four years in prison and slapped him with a $500,000 fine for transporting individuals across state lines for sex.

The 55-year-old Hip-Hop mogul was acquitted of the most severe charges, sex trafficking and racketeering, which could have resulted in a life sentence. But his legal team says the conviction itself is flawed and plans to challenge it.

“Both the guidelines calculation and the sentence took account of conduct for which Mr. Combs was acquitted by a jury,” defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told the New York Post. “We contend this amounts to legal error.”

The appeal notice is expected to be filed within days.

Combs has already served about a year behind bars following his 2024 arrest. Since the federal system doesn’t offer parole, he could be released in just over three years.

The conviction came after a high-profile trial in Manhattan, where jurors listened to disturbing testimony from several women who described being coerced into drug-fueled “freak-off” sex parties.

Prosecutors leaned on the Mann Act, a 1910 law that criminalizes transporting people across state lines for illicit sexual activity. Combs’ attorneys argued the encounters were “consensual.”

The legal saga is just one chapter in a long history of allegations involving the Bad Boy Records founder. His criminal record dates back to 1996, when he was convicted of criminal mischief after allegedly threatening a photographer with a firearm.

The current wave of litigation began in 2023 when R&B; singer Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of rape and years of abuse. That case was settled in under 24 hours for $20 million, a move that legal experts say may have encouraged other accusers to come forward.

Since then, nearly 100 civil lawsuits have been filed against Combs across the country, alleging everything from sexual assault to harassment and emotional abuse.

Combs is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. It’s unclear where he will serve the remainder of his sentence, though a transfer to a low-security facility near his Miami home is being considered.
