WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised the following story contains the name of a person who has died.
Two people have been arrested following the death of an 18-year-old in Victoria's Gippsland region on Saturday night.
Multiple media outlets have identified the victim as Aboriginal man Kaiden Morgan, who was allegedly stabbed to death in Morwell after a fight broke out between a group of people, according to 9News.
Victoria Police said officers were called at about 10.25pm and found two people with serious injuries. Mr Morgan was taken to hospital, where he died a short time later.
A 20-year-old Warragul man was also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
On Sunday, police confirmed two males had been arrested in connection with the incident. A 19-year-old man from Traralgon and a 16-year-old boy from the La Trobe area remain in custody, awaiting interview.
Mr Morgan, a Wakka Wakka, Wurundjeri and Yorta Yorta man, was featured last year on ABC's Takeover program, which showcased his Morwell-based dance group, the Boorun Boys, on Gunaikurnai Country.
"It's important to me to pay my respects to everyone on this land that walks it, not just to my Elders, but everyone around me," he said.
"All the boys, a lot of the time, go to my dad's house to practice dancing...I want that to be my house in 20 years."
He added: "I have anxiety, and I think about it a lot — every time before I dance, have a little panic attack; I think, like, everyone's looking at me you know? And then as soon as I hear someone stop talking and say, 'now the Boorun boys are gonna perform,' and everything goes quiet, I just lock in.
"There's no such thing as anxiety when you're dancing."
Tributes have flowed on social media, with many remembering Mr Morgan as a "warrior" and "an inspiration for the next gen".
The Herald Sun reported a friend described him as someone who "did wonders for the Aboriginal community" and who "loved his culture and wanted to show the world".
Officers are urging members of the public with information or CCTV footage to contact Crime Stoppers.
