Mugnano – O An episode of violence shook the quiet night of Mugnano di Napoli, in the province of Naples, where the Carabinieri of the Marano company intervened urgently at via Madonna delle Grazie 45 following a report of an attempted robbery accompanied by gunshots.
The attack involved 32-year-old Mario Cosentino, a well-known influencer and tiktokers from the area known as Mariomario, who had just finished a live social media broadcast outside a restaurant, where he was with his family.
According to initial reports, the man was suddenly approached by two individuals on a scooter. The passenger, who had gotten out of the vehicle, allegedly ordered the victim to hand over his purse, threatening him with a firearm.
The 32-year-old's decisive reaction stunned the criminals, who, seeing themselves in difficulty, abandoned their attempted robbery and fled. However, before fleeing, the armed robber fired two gunshots in the direction of the club, causing panic among those present.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the incident shocked witnesses and residents of the area, who are usually unaware of such serious incidents. The Carabinieri, who promptly arrived on the scene, began an investigation to reconstruct the exact sequence of events and identify those responsible.
Investigators are collecting footage from surveillance cameras in the area and gathering testimonies from those present, including the victim, to clarify any motives and links to local crime.
The incident raises renewed questions about security in the suburbs of the Naples metropolitan area, where acts of intimidation and attempted robberies appear to be on the rise. Law enforcement is working tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure peace for the community.
The investigations are continuing at a rapid pace, and the Carabinieri are not excluding any leads, including that of a possible connection with other criminal activities in the area.
