Emanuele Tufano Shot From Behind While Running Away From Killers: The Truth in the Pictures

Naples. Emanuele Tufano was shot in the back while trying to escape death and the young, unbridled gunmen chasing him. He was hit by a single bullet in the back: it was fatal because at the hospital they could do nothing but pronounce him dead.

But there are images from numerous public and private cameras along the area between Piazza Marcato where the meeting with the assassins took place and Via Carminiello al Mercato up to Corso Umberto where he collapsed on the ground, close to death.

The capture of the killers could happen soon. The agents of the mobile squad have long interrogated the two injured friends who should have provided useful elements to the investigation.

The agents of the Flying Squad interrogated the victim's friends at length

The investigations revealed that the bullets, as many as 20 perhaps fired from two different guns, lodged in some parked cars, in a shop window and in a garbage bin. One grazed one of his friends in the arm, a 17-year-old who was also fleeing from the hitmen while a 14-year-old, also his friend, suffered some abrasions in the fall.

According to initial reconstructions, Emanuele Tufano and his friends had gone to a meeting, which turned out to be a trap, in Piazza Mercato, to discuss a stolen scooter. Something went wrong and then the escape and the shooting that spread panic, with about 20 shots fired from multiple weapons and a deadly chase.

The young man 's body was found on the ground, shot in the back. Investigators are analyzing surveillance footage to identify the killer. Currently, they are investigating a possible settling of scores between young people, possibly related to a theft.

The Flying Squad is working tirelessly to shed light on the affair. The investigations are focusing on the environment in which Emanuele moved, a boy with no criminal record, who went to school at the Della Porta technical institute, where this morning his classmates hung a black cloth on the gate as a sign of mourning, and who worked as a mechanic in the afternoon.

The father, who runs a restaurant-pizzeria on via Mario Pagano, kept an eye on him because the mechanic is just a few meters from his business. He and his wife were on vacation in Ibiza and were notified by phone of their son's death. They returned in the afternoon.
