Vitaly Sergeyevich Karayev (Russian: Виталий Сергеевич Караев) (10 June 1962 – 26 November 2008) was the mayor of the North Ossetian capital, Vladikavkaz.[2]
Assassination
Karayev was murdered by an unknown gunman on 26 November 2008.[3][4] He was killed as he left his home and climbed into his silver Mercedes.[5] He rushed into hospital, but died there from a wound he sustained to his chest.[5] He had been in power for less than a year before being murdered.
Russian authorities stated in February 2009 that about 30 people had been detained in connection with Karayev's assassination, including some in Moscow.[6] Another source said Karayev's killing was also linked to the death a month later of ex-Vladikavkaz mayor Kazbek Pagiyev.[7]
Karayev's killer, Alexander Jussoyev, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on 11 August 2011. Jussoyev was said to be a member of an organized crime group[8] led by Aslan Gagiyev.[9]
