He reportedly died at the scene from his injuries after being shot several times with a hunting rifle in Kaluga, Russia.
A 41-year-old man has been arrested, along with a second man.
Their identities have not been confirmed at the time of the latest update.
A friend of the deceased described it as an “irreparable loss”, as reported by Need To Know.
Dmitry was described in local reports as a Russian national champion in functional fitness, a CrossFit-style discipline involving high-intensity, full-body workouts.
He regularly competed in these events and also worked as a personal trainer.
He had also graduated from Kaluga State University.
A friend told local media: “He was a wonderful person – very kind, open, warm-hearted.
“You could always hear his laughter right across the gym.
“About a year and a half ago, he not only trained but also became a coach.
“It was his second job: his main profession was security work, but he successfully combined both roles.”
