Les Berry was found with horrific injuries at his home in the early hours of yesterday morning.
It's understood that the 19-year-old was badly beaten and stabbed in a brawl.
Police yesterday launched a murder probe in Kilsyth, Stirlingshire, following a postmortem examination.
Neighbours in the street reported hearing loud music and noise coming from the block where Les lived after he moved to Kilsyth from his family home in nearby Cumbernauld.
Detective Chief Inspector Kenny Dewar said: "A young man has lost his life in what appears to be a senseless attack.
"We believe that earlier in the evening, around midnight, a disturbance had taken place either in or near to Leslie's flat in Park Lane.
"Extensive inquiries are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding his death and to trace those responsible."
Uniformed officers conducted door-to-door inquiries in the streets surrounding the flat yesterday.
Last night, Les's pals paid tribute to the former pupil of Cumbernauld's Greenfaulds High School.
One female friend said: "He was the nicest guy you could meet. No one can believe he has been killed."
