Four men have been arrested and are being interviewed by detectives.
The young man's grieving parents and aunts visited at the scene on Tuesday morning, where they knelt in the middle of the mall, prayed and made a religious offering, according to Channel Nine.
Footage of the aftermath of the incident shows a group of young people sobbing and comforting one another on Monday night, while forensics investigators examine the footpath near the entrance of the mall outside the Alimonakis Pharmacy.
Local MP, Steve Dimopoulos, said he was shocked at the violence which unfolded in a mall that was "loved across Melbourne".
"There is no place for violence in our community. Not now. Not ever," he wrote in a Facebook post on Monday evening.
"This is a location that is loved across Melbourne. It is on the map as a safe place for people to dine and come together.
"Whatever disagreements people may have – it is never worth someone’s life."
It is the third fatal brawl on Melbourne streets in the past fortnight, although the incidents are not related.
Last Monday, 21-year-old Machar Kot was stabbed outside a Melbourne CBD hotel and later died in hospital.
On June 16, teenager Solomone Taufeulungaki was stabbed to death outside Brimbank Shopping Centre in Deer Park.
Marco Deng, 22, has been charged with the murder of Mr Kot, while seven boys between the ages of 13 and 16 have been charged with affray in relation to the Deer Park brawl.
No one has been charged directly over Solomone's death.
Anyone with information on the latest incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
