Gennaro Matteo, 35, was shot dead in Ponticelli.

The ambush started late yesterday evening in Viale Luca Pacioli. The man, who had a 2015 criminal record for possession of weapons, was riddled with bullets while on the streets.

He was in the company of acquaintances when the killers appeared: Matteo tried to escape so much that he was hit three times in the chest and shoulders. He was accompanied to the nearby Mare hospital by some acquaintances but despite the doctors' attempts to save his life, the man died during the operation.

The dynamics do not seem to leave room for other hypotheses: the Camorra war that has been going on for months between the De Luca Bossa-Minichini clans on the one hand and the De Micco De Martino on the other.

In a sensational blow to the investigation of the DDA of Naples 11 members of the Ponticelli clans, protagonists of the feud were all released at the end of October.
