Friends of Dmitry Koltsov hope his story will not get lost in the larger nexus of violence Rhett Nelson is accused of committing across Southern California in a days-long rampage.
Koltsov “always wore the hugest smile and brought a smile to everyone around him,” his friend Stephen Carballo, owner of the L.A. River Tattoo Co., wrote on Instagram. “He was an unbelievable ripper on every type of board, and it brings tears to my eyes thinking we won’t be shredding laps at [Big Bear] this year or running into each other in the water.”
In 2015, he moved to Southern California hoping to stay involved in the skate and snowboarding scenes without the pressures of trying to compete on a world stage, friends said. “He was almost like an unofficial coach to all the Russian competitive skateboarders. They would come here for competitions and he would house them, feed them and make sure they got where they needed to go,” said Hammouri, 28.
The only time Koltsov’s ever-present smile faded was at the mention of his family. The 31-year-old skater had not been back to Russia since moving to the U.S., and had not seen his parents or sister for at least four years, said Sylvia Mena, 26, who is married to Hammouri and had also lived with Koltsov since 2017.
Little is known about Koltsov’s final moments. Last week, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said only that thewho was inside a car in the 1900 block of East 7th Place near downtown.
