A young man was wounded by gunfire in the Piscinola district of Naples on the evening of 23 September 2026 and transported urgently to hospital.
The injured man was identified as Antonio L., described as a young man already known to law-enforcement records. He was taken to the emergency department of the CTO hospital in Naples, where he was reported to be in critical condition, though apparently not in danger of death.
Carabinieri were investigating the shooting, including at Via Nuova Dietro la Vigna, where the ambush reportedly occurred.
Investigators were examining two lines of inquiry: the victim's account of having resisted a robbery, and the possibility of an attack connected to local criminal groups. The robbery account had not been independently confirmed, and the exact sequence of events had not been established.
No confirmed suspect had been identified, and no motive had been confirmed.
