Ovanes Ayrumyan's body was found in southern Moscow, he was a Armenian music student who was stabbed 18 times.
Police denied reports that the attacks were racially motivated. No suspects have been denied for the killing of Ayrumyan and others in the recent attacks.
A talented musician, Ovanes Ayrumyan toured the world playing lead violin with the Chamber Orchestra of the Svetlana Richter School of Arts, said Alla Gudush, the orchestra's director.
According to the Moscow Times: "Ayrumyan died the same day that dozens of drunken football fans aged 13 to 16 attacked three dark-skinned people while celebrating a Spartak Moscow victory on the street. They stabbed to death Sergei Nikolayev, a 46-year-old chess player and native of Buryatia, at around 5 p.m. on Ulitsa Arkhitektora Vlasova, and injured natives of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan on nearby streets.
It remains unclear whether Ayrumyan was attacked by the football fans. Balaklavsky Prospekt, where he died, is roughly a 15-minute walk from Ulitsa Arkhitektora Vlasova. He had just left the Chertanovskaya metro station at about 7:30 p.m. when he was attacked."
