A$AP Rocky's Swedish lawyer is 'shot in the head and chest' in Stockholm as police question female lawyer banned from contact
2019-09-07
[Daily Mail] A prominent Swedish lawyer who represented A$AP Rocky in his Stockholm assault case has been shot in the head and chest in an 'ambush attack'.

Henrik Olsson Lilja was leaving his apartment building in downtown Stockholm shortly before nine this morning when a gunman approached and shot him.

Neighbors saw a person wrestle the lawyer in a stairwell, before the shooting and gave Olsson Lilja a phone to call the police, who have since arrested several suspects.

A woman, also a senior lawyer, who was previously banned from contacting Olsson Lilja is among those arrested, but the shooter has been identified as a man.

'One person has been arrested as a suspect for the attempted murder attempt' a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office said.

The gunman swiftly jumped into a waiting SUV and sped off and the lawyer's condition is unknown. He is still at large.

Olsson Lilja first represented Rocky when he was first taken into custody after assaulting a man who was harassing him and his team on the street, but he was replaced before the trial began.

It is not known if the shooting had any relation to the US rapper's case.

#4  If Lilja doesn't make it, please notify the American Bar Assoc. I am certain a few hundred replacements could be rounded up.

Other than the correlation of violent death and rappers is generally tight in America.

#1  ...FWIW, a friend in Sweden is saying that the 'senior lawyer' is Olsson Lilja's ex-wife.
