A Russian dancer was shot dead in front of her Moscow apartment, in what the police are calling “murder on demand”, also known as murder.

The dancer, who won numerous international dance contests, was returning from a choreography session, the channel reported.
Surveillance footage of the incident obtained by The Daily Mail shows Pronina’s final moments when the killer, wearing a sweatshirt and glasses, approaches her from behind and shoots her closely.

The suspect is then seen fleeing the scene, shows the video from The Daily Mail.

However, one of Pronina’s friends told the tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda that the much-loved dancer, indicating that a potential motive behind the murder may have stemmed from “jealousy,” said The New York Post.
“She had no enemies, I can say with absolute certainty,” said her friend Valeria to the newspaper, according to The New York Post. “Only one of his admirers could be behind this because of jealousy.”
Another dance colleague, Anzhelika, echoed Valeria’s feelings, continued The New York Post.
“Natasha not only danced beautifully, she is really beautiful,” she expressed to Komsomolskaya Pravda, according to The New York Post. “Men have always been attached to her and it is possible that one of the rejected fans killed her.”
