Camorra ambush in the heart of Naples. Umberto Russo, 33, already known to law enforcement, was shot dead on Via Miano, a short walk from Capodimonte Park.
According to an initial reconstruction, the victim was driving his car when one or more hitmen approached him and fired several shots, hitting him in the chest. The man, seriously injured, was rescued and rushed to Cardarelli Hospital, where he died shortly after being admitted from his injuries.
Carabinieri officers from the Vomero Company and forensic officers immediately responded to the scene of the attack , cordoning off the area to allow for investigation. The officers are combing the area for surveillance cameras and witnesses who could provide useful information to the investigation.
Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that the murder was linked to criminal dynamics linked to the Camorra in the northern part of the city. The investigation is ongoing, and no leads have been ruled out at this time.
