The man, originally believed to be named Daniel but now identified as 22-year-old Martin Neshkovski, was killed during celebrations held in the square after parliamentary elections Sunday.

The protesters say Neshkovski was beaten by the Macedonian special police force Tigres. A spokesperson of the Ministry of Interior said that although officials were aware a special force member took action on a young man, they were “unaware of killing him.”

Protesters planned to march from the square to the police station to demand officials address the killing.
