Alexei Sviridov Street.
Victim has been reported to be 30 plus year old Konstantin Balishansky, evidently a former athlete perhaps skater.
Firearm used appears to be some sort of midsize in length weapon possibly with a scope on top.
There are videos available online of the event.
This looks like surreal psychopath out of the woodwork. What the reasons of the slaying were may not be completely known or understood at this time regardless.
The era now has Russia-Ukraine tensions still ongoing, a few months past the Moscow theater attack, while this sort of target-and-eliminate activity actively 're-emerges' remindful of scenes of moves from back in the late 1970s early 1980s.
The suspect or suspects have not yet been detained according to reports.
Posted in Intercontinental News section as it is unknown where the suspect or suspects are.
Update: Recent reports indicate the shooter has been captured by authorities
