Hossein Naseri, 73, was killed by a gunshot to the artery in his leg on January 9, 2026, in eastern Tehran. Before joining the protests, he had expressed that he was at ease about the safety and well-being of his children and felt it didn't matter what happened to him. He was participating in the protests for a better future for the next generation.
Hossein Naseri, who had retired many years ago, had two adult children living outside of Iran. He was described as someone who loved traveling and nature. Despite having an injured leg and being unable to undergo surgery due to heart disease and his advanced age, he never refused an opportunity to go into nature, even with the pain.
His children were unaware of his death for seven days due to internet and phone service disruptions. Hossein Naseri was buried in Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery.

«آقای ناصری عاشق سفر و طبیعت گردی بود. یکی از پاهایش آسیب دیده بود اما به دلیل بیماری قلبی و سن بالا نمی توانست عمل کند اما با وجود درد به رفتن به طبیعت نه نمی گفت.»
فرزندان او به دلیل قطع اینترنت و تلفن تا هفت روز نمی دانستند که پدرشان کشته شده است. حسین ناصری در بهشت زهرا به خاک سپرده شد.
