Naples – Pasquale Sesso , the man killed while he was aboard his scooter during the ambush that took place on Wednesday evening in the Pallonetto di Santa Lucia area, lost his life at the age of 44 . According to the latest reconstructions, the police would have stopped a 28-year-old, suspected of murder.

The 44-year-old would have been killed as he traveled the stretch of road between vico Solitaria and via Pallonetto. Several gunshots would have been fired against him , leaving him no way out: despite the rush to the Pellegrini hospital in Naples, the man died shortly after.

A short distance from the murder, the agents identified a prime suspect: he is a 28-year-old young man identified by the police who, according to what Corriere del Mezzogiorno reports , has ties to organized crime. Sesso, on the other hand, would have precedents for drug dealing and robbery.

The presence of the 28-year-old at the scene of the crime was ascertained from the footage recovered from the video surveillance cameras installed in the area. At the time of arrest, he was carrying a pistol , the weapon he may have used to kill the victim.

The young man was therefore first charged with the crime of illegal possession of a firearm. The investigations will then clarify his possible involvement in the ambush that sparked panic among the residents of the area.

“ You have to intervene with all your strength , what happened is total disgust. Earthquake shots. How is it possible that between the Monte di Dio barracks and the army building a few meters from what happened, we have to live barricaded with this fear or the fear of not getting off or not returning home because we risk getting shot? The state must make the state, it's a shame” – is one of the messages sent to the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli.
