His name was Mikael Janicki. He was a 39-year-old Polish man living in Sweden.
He was cycling with his 12-year-old son to the swimming pool. In a pedestrian underpass, they were surrounded and verbally harassed by a group of immigrants.
Mikael turned back to confront them and protect his son. One of them, named Mohammed Khalid Mohammed Mohammed, pulled out a gun and shot him twice in the head at close range, right in front of his boy.
Mikael died shortly after.
The shooter, a repeat offender with prior convictions including attempted murder, was sentenced to 14 years in prison in March 2025.
Four others from the group were convicted of helping the killer escape and covering up evidence. Since they were minors, they received youth care, probation with community service, and youth supervision and spent not a single day in prison.
