Ambush in Ponticelli. A 43-year-old man was shot and killed in a crowd Saturday afternoon. Attempts to save him at Villa Betania’s emergency room were futile.

Investigations into the dynamics and motive are still ongoing, including reviewing surveillance footage from the area and interviewing potential witnesses. However, it is not ruled out that the murder may be related to drug trafficking issues. The prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, is monitoring the situation in terms of public order and security. “He remains confident in the results of the investigations that the judiciary and the carabinieri are carrying out with diligence and professionalism,” informs the Prefecture. The Prefect has ordered the immediate intensification of surveillance and control services in the area of ​​interest by the police forces.
