He first tried to deny it and then admitted to having shot the 17-year-old boy under arrest for the murder of Santo Romano, the 19-year-old killed in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio on the night between Friday and Saturday by a gunshot to the chest.

This is what is leaking from the investigators who are looking into the murder of the 19-year-old in the Naples area. The carabinieri traced the young man by viewing the images of the video surveillance in the area, which show a minicar that drives away shortly after the shots were fired.

The many testimonies collected were also decisive in identifying the 17-year-old. And the hunt is now on for any possible accomplices.

A friend of the young man, also 19 years old, was also injured in the raid, hit in the elbow by a bullet and is still hospitalized at the same hospital in Naples where Romano died. The military of the Torre del Greco company left nothing out, so much so that they scanned the social profiles of the alleged hitman, looking for useful elements. The investigators focused their attention on a series of shots, some of which were posted after the brawl and shooting that took place during the night between Friday and Saturday. Photos that praise the use of weapons.

It all started from a fight between boys, which broke out for trivial reasons. Perhaps triggered by a simple step on the foot. Santo Romano, with no criminal record and dreaming of becoming a footballer, was there "and tried to defend a friend", his girlfriend says through tears. Romano was a goalkeeper for Micri, a team that plays in the Eccellenza championship and in which the other injured player also plays: "A piece of news that shakes you and overwhelms you - the club wrote on social media - as if we had been catapulted into a nightmare".
