Youth Violence Escalates in Naples

Published: 2024-11-10

Naples has been gripped by a wave of youth violence, with three young lives lost in just over two weeks.

The tragic events began with the murder of 15-year-old Emanuele Tufano, shot in the back during a gang conflict.

This was followed by the killing of 19-year-old Santo Romano, who was shot after a dispute over a stepped-on shoe.

Most recently, 18-year-old Arcangelo Correra died from a gunshot wound, possibly due to a tragic accident.

These incidents highlight the alarming availability of firearms among the youth and have sparked outrage and fear across the city.
