Kazakhstan authorities have detained one suspect in the murder of 25-year-old Olympic figure skater Denis Ten who was stabbed to death Thursday.

According to a statement from Kazakhstan’s Interior Ministry, two suspects from the murder have been identified, Reuters reports.

One was detained, and a photograph of the second was released as police continue to look for him.

Ten was knifed during an altercation with two men after he confronted them for trying to steal his car mirrors in the city of Almaty.

Ten competed in the 2014 Sochi Olympics Games where he won bronze, making him the first figure skater from Kazakhstan to win an Olympic medal. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Ten finished 11th.

From U.S. Olympian Adam Rippon to Canada’s Patrick Chan, the figure skating community around the world mourned Ten’s death.

My skating friend, @Tenis_Den, passed away today. He was so kind to everyone and a huge inspiration to me and so many other people. Murdered in the streets of Kazakhstan. Denis, thank you for showing us how to be a champion. Your time with us was way too short. Love you forever.

I feel so honored and grateful to have shared the ice with @Tenis_Den. One of the most beautiful skaters to have graced our sport. My thoughts are with his family during this unimaginable time. I feel so lucky to have made memories with Denis that I will cherish forever...
