Klub menyatakan, pemain berusia 20 tahun itu terhenyak terkena tembakan peluru ketika sedang mengendarai mobilnya di kampung halamannya di desa Novokuli, Sabtu malam.
"Ia merupakan salah satu pemain junior dalam tim kami," kata perwakilan klub tentang Mogomedov, yang sudah bermain dalam 16 pertandingan pada musim ini.

Belum ada tertuduh penembakan yang ditangkap dan sejauh ini belum diketahui motif penembakan itu.

Moscow - Gasan Magomedov, a 20-year-old midfielder with Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, has been shot dead in his car.
The club said Magomedov died from his injuries on his way to hospital after his car came under automatic gunfire on Saturday night.
Magomedov had been driving home to his parents' house in the village of Novokuli, in the province of Dagestan in the North Caucasus, when he was attacked.
Magomedov played in midfield for Anzhi's youth and reserve teams and the club sent their 'deepest condolences' to his family.
No arrests have been made and the motive is unclear, the club added.
Anzhi play in the Russian second division, having been relegated last year following major budget cuts. In previous seasons, backed by billionaire owner Suleyman Kerimov, the club challenged for the Russian Premier League title and twice reached the last 16 of the Europa League.
