WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised the following story contains the name and image of a person who has died.
Two teenagers have been charged with murder following an alleged machete attack on an 18-year-old Aboriginal man in Victoria's Gippsland region.
Multiple media outlets have identified the victim as Wakka Wakka, Wurundjeri and Yorta Yorta man Kaiden Morgan, who was allegedly stabbed to death in Morwell on Saturday night after a fight broke out between a group of people. The Age reported Mr Morgan's family have confirmed his death.
Victoria Police said officers were called at about 10.25 pm and found two people with serious injuries, believed to be stab wounds. 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.
After arresting two males on Sunday, police confirmed on Monday morning that a 19-year-old man from Traralgon and a 16-year-old boy from the La Trobe area have been charged with murder and intentionally causing serious injury.
Police allege the parties were known to each other.
The 19-year-old man will face Morwell Magistrates' Court today, while the 16-year-old will appear before a children's court.
Last year, Mr Morgan 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".
On Facebook, the Gudu Gunai Dancers paid tribute to Mr Morgan, stating: "You were such a deadly young lad, was always good to yarn to and dance with."
"You'll be deeply missed by all of us at gudu/gunai dancers! Rest in the dream time [sic] bud, until we meet again. The times spent together dancing will be carried with us for eternity."
