It was late afternoon Thursday 14 January in
Rosengård, Malmö, Sweden when Ahmed was waiting for the bus home from practice
and got shot several times. According to a Swedish newspaper in Malmö, Sydsvenskan, the murderer first shot him
in the leg and his upper body. Witnesses said the murderer left the location
immediately after the incident, but soon afterwards returned to shoot Ahmed in
his head. Ahmed was stated dead less than an hour after the incident and the
cause were his injuries.
Ahmed Obaid was just a normal teenage boy. He went to
high school and he was, according to his teachers and relatives, a very
committed boy with clear future plans. He had his mind set on someday being
able to work as a doctor. Police has no suspect and no one is arrested for the
murder yet, but the investigation is still going on. There are no known threats
against Ahmed and neither the police nor his relatives can find any reasons
behind the murder. He didn’t belong to any gangs and was earlier unknown by the
police. Police have theories that the murder shot the wrong person, but nothing
is assured.
Days after Ahmed’s death people gathered to bless him and his family to show how much they care.
Unfortunately, Malmö, and especially territories like
Rosengård, are quite troubled. Since year-end and start, there have been
several shootings and some of the victims have been facing the same fate as
Ahmed.
Now, weeks after the terrible accident many teenagers,
especially those with a foreign origin that live in Malmö are afraid to go
outdoors. Both police and Ahmed´s parents are still searching for reasons
behind the murder.
