The cousin of an 18-year-old boy who died this Saturday in Naples for a shot to the head it was arrested on Saturday night after confessing that the gun was fired at him with which they were playing. This case has focused attention on the ease of obtaining a weapon among the youngest in this city in southern Italy, which has experienced several episodes of violence in recent months.
After the confession, the prosecution issued the arrest warrant against Renato Caiafa19 years old, the young man who, on the night of Friday to Saturday, while handling a weapon, shot his cousin Arcangelo Correra18 years old, on a central street in Naples. The victim died hours later in the hospital, Italian media reported.
The young man, who spontaneously went to the police station to explain the incident, is accused of arrest of illegal weapon and reported for the crime of homicide. This new episode has revealed how easy it is for young people in Naples to get hold of a weapon after several episodes of violence.
On October 27, another 20-year-old young man was hit in the neck in Chiaiano while he was in the car although he was able to save his life. Days later, in San Sebastián del Vesuvio, Santo Romano, 19 years old, was murdered by another 17-year-old young man, who had been released from prison in May and who shot him three times after a fight broke out between two groups, apparently, for having dirty one of his shoes by an accidental stomp.
Romano’s homicide came just a week after two minors, ages 14 and 17 They also shot and killed another 15-year-old boy downtown. “It is too easy to find a weapon. A shoe, a scooter, a parking space and other useless motives: we find ourselves facing a disconcerting banality of evil in the younger groups,” stressed the police commissioner of Naples, Maurizio Agricola, in statements in the diary The Republic.
For his part, Agricola believes that the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, may have influenced what happened, especially due to the ease of obtaining weapons. “If you are armed, if you shoot at the slightest, it is clear that there are a rowdy mentality and a methodology of camorrista criminal action,” he added.
