Foggia, shot dead while celebrating Italy. Serious injured 6 year old nephew.
The victim was already known to the police. His brother also died in an ambush

San Severo (Foggia) - He was celebrating Italy's victory with his six-year-old nephew, aboard a scooter, when he was the victim of an ambush. The victim is Matteo Anastasio, a 42-year-old offender from San Severo, Foggia. The child was also seriously injured and is now in the intensive care unit of the "Riuniti" polyclinic in Foggia due to the injuries to the abdomen. He is in a medically induced coma and the prognosis is reserved.

The ambush took place after midnight yesterday, in via Matteotti, while the celebrations for Italy were underway. The man and his nephew were aboard a moped when they were joined by two people, also aboard a scooter and wearing full-face helmets so as not to be recognized, who fired at least four or five gunshots. Anastasio died immediately after being transported to the emergency room of the Masselli Mascia hospital in San Severo, while the child was injured when he fell from the scooter.

A long trail of blood
Anastasio is an old acquaintance of the police force. In 2017 his brother Giuseppe was killed, murdered at the age of 33 always in San Severo. Giuseppe Anastasio was killed with a few shots of 7.65 pistol, the same caliber of the weapon used to kill his brother Matteo yesterday. Giuseppe Anastasio was convicted of killing a 12-year-old girl, Stella Costa, in 2002 by firing a few gunshots at another man. One of the bullets hit the little girl who had taken to the street, with her mother, to throw out the garbage.
