Homicide detectives are investigating what led to the fatal brawl which occurred near the entrance to the mall on Atherton Road just before 8pm on Monday.
Police said they were called to Atherton Road over a fight involving a number of people.
Mr Tran, from Springvale in Melbourne's south-east, could not be revived and died at the scene.
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 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."
Detectives are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area of Chester Street, Eaton Mall and Atherton Road between 7.30pm and 8pm on Monday to contact police. They are also asking for anyone with camera footage to come forward.
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.
