پویا فارسی کارگری شریف و ازخودگذشته بود که از کودکی کار میکرد و پشتیبان خانوادهاش بود. او در شب ۱۸ دیماه ۱۴۰۴ در محله فلاح تهران با شلیک مستقیم گلوله جنگی توسط تکتیراندازان مأموران جمهوری اسلامی کشته شد. گزارشها حاکی از آن است که او جانش را سپر کرد تا پیکر معترضی به یغما نرود. پیکر او با تأخیر به خانواده تحویل داده شد و به دلیل شدت جراحات، تنها از روی لباسش قابل شناسایی بود و خانوادهاش تحت فشار قرار گرفتند تا روایت جمهوری اسلامی را بپذیرند.
