ASAP Rocky's Swedish Lawyer Shot In The Head: Investigation At 'Intense Stage'

On Friday morning, Henrik Olssen Lilja, a prominent Swedish lawyer who once represented Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky, was shot in Stockholm, Sweden. Lilja served as the representative for the U.S. rapper in his assault conviction following a brawl with a 19-year-old man in June.

According to Forbes, Lilja was shot in his head and chest and is said to have called the police himself following the incident. Shortly thereafter, at 8:59 local time, emergency services arrived, as noted by the Swedish newspaper Expressen. Following their arrival, the lawyer was transported to a hospital.

The unnamed shooter has been identified as a man. It has been noted that a black SUV was seen speeding away from the scene.

As of now, police are said to be investigating the shooting as an "isolated incident." It remains unknown if Lilja was specifically targeted due to his line of work.

Lilja's current status is unknown.
