Teen Suspect in Fatal Shooting Claims Innocence: “I Didn’t Kill Him”
A 15-year-old boy, under investigation for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Emanuele Tufano, has vehemently denied duty for the death, claiming he only fired his weapon in self-defense. The teenager, identified as FA, made the statement during a recent interrogation by authorities in Naples, Italy.
“I pulled the trigger, yes, but I didn’t kill emanuele,” FA told investigators. “From my position and the videos I’ve seen on TikTok, I’m certain I couldn’t have been the one who shot him.”
The Reconstruction of events
FA’s account, provided two days ago, sheds new light on the October 24th incident that took place in a side street of corso Umberto, just steps away from Piazza Mercato. According to FA, the confrontation began when a group of at least fifteen motorcyclists, including Emanuele Tufano, approached the area with the intent to provoke locals.
During the interrogation, FA stated, “They started shooting at us,” confirming the chaotic nature of the event. The Naples Prosecutor’s Office, led by magistrate Claudia De Luca, is conducting a thorough investigation into the murder, with assistance from anti-Camorra deputy Celeste Carrano.
The Silence of the Night
The investigative reconstruction reveals a tense standoff between two groups: one from the Sanità district, including Emanuele, and another consisting of at least four boys from the Mercato district. Among the latter group, a 15-year-old with a history of involvement in criminal activities stands out.
As the shooting erupted, the four boys from the Mercato district abandoned their motorcycles and sought cover behind dumpsters and parked cars. It was during this chaos that FA claims he fired his weapon, stating, ”I fired, but I didn’t kill Emanuele.”
The incident has raised questions about the number of firearms involved and whether Emanuele was caught in the crossfire. FA’s defense, supported by criminal lawyer Immacolata Spina, maintains that his client acted in self-defense and was not the one who fatally shot Emanuele.
The Ongoing Investigation
The Naples Prosecutor’s Office continues to gather evidence and testimonies to piece together the events of that night. The case has garnered significant attention, not only for its tragic outcome but also for the involvement of minors in violent crimes.
As the investigation progresses, the public awaits further developments, hoping for clarity and justice in the tragic death of Emanuele Tufano.
