Mehdi Karimpour was a 22-year-old resident of Meshkin Dasht, Karaj, who was a dedicated athlete and a local business owner. A practitioner of karate, he also managed a clothing boutique. He was a married man whose life was tragically cut short during the period of national protests in early 2026. On the evening of January 10, 2026, at approximately 8:00 PM, Mehdi was returning home from a shopping trip with his wife. As they passed near the Hedayatkar School, they encountered members of the Basij militia on motorcycles. Amidst a heightened security presence and what witnesses described as a state of martial law, the forces opened fire on him. Mehdi was struck by direct gunfire in the chest and throat; some reports specify the use of pellet ammunition. He succumbed to his injuries as a result of the targeted shooting, becoming one of the many young individuals killed during the Iranian protest movement.
