The first suspects have been placed under investigation for the murder of Leonardo Mocci, the twenty-three-year-old from Villacidro killed by a gunshot on the night between Wednesday and Thursday in Piazza Settimio Severo, in Monserrato .

The turning point was expected and in the last few hours there has been an acceleration in the investigation: the situation is evolving and the documents served by the Prosecutor's Office to various individuals concern the accusation of murder, but also that of aiding and abetting and drug dealing .

According to the investigators' reconstruction—which has increasingly been confirmed—on his last night, Mocci had accompanied a friend to a meeting. A drug deal was supposed to be closing in Monserrato. However, the friend wasn't met by sellers, but by a gang of robbers who had arranged the meeting with the sole purpose of stealing the buyer's money. The twenty-three-year-old, thanks in part to his physical prowess, was supposed to be merely a foil, a guarantee of safety for his friend.

When the situation got dire, he allegedly confronted the group in the square: those who had arrived with him fled after being attacked. Mocci intervened; it's unclear whether there was a struggle. But it's certain that someone fired, hitting him in the heart.

The name of the alleged perpetrator of the crime has now been entered into the register of suspects , along with those of his supporters. And it cannot be ruled out that further measures may be taken in the coming hours, also following a series of interrogations.
