COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Danish police say a former gang leader who repented and wrote a book about his experiences has been fatally shot by a lone gunman in dark clothes.
Joergen Ramskov, the chief editor of the Radio24syv radio station where Nedim Yasar had a talk show, says the 31-year-old was shot late Monday after he left a cocktail party in Copenhagen in connection with his book “Roedder” (“Roots”), which hit the streets Tuesday.
The former leader of the gang known as Los Guerreros - Spanish for warriors - was rushed to a nearby hospital in a critical condition. He died on Tuesday.
