One shot, one shot at close range, at forehead level. They killed him like this, following the gruesome death rituals usually performed by the Mammasantissima of the Camorra. But behind thatmurder of Pius Marcus Solomon, nineteen years and its tumultuous, organized crime past has nothing to do with it. This includes the consolidated group that controls the city center.
The last burning life of a boy from Naples died on a cold night at the end of November, between Friday and Saturday. So Pio Marco Salomone’s name is written in blood on the blacklist of young people killed in the night, which is increasingly troublesome and increasingly dangerous. Meanwhile, a disturbing hypothesis emerges from the background of the investigation: the 19-year-old may have been killed because of the game. drug not being paid, or because they dared to invade a drug dealer’s place that was contracted to other young people.
Napoli, who was Pio Marco Salomone, the 19-year-old killed in Arenaccia: guns, pink cocaine and the mystery of the failed ambush
Dynamics
Late at night. It was two o’clock when a group of four young friends who decided to spend the evening in a games room not far from Piazza Carlo III left the club. through General Francesco Pinto it’s possible to end the evening with a visit to the nearby croissant which stays open all night. We laughed, joked, then the group got into a small car to take shelter from the heavy rain; the driver had time to start his car to get out of the parking lot and another car came from the opposite lane next to the first car: the barrel of a gun appeared from the window and fired one precise shot, aimed at Solomon’s head. The bullet entered from the front area, passed through the brain and exited from the back of the head.
“We heard an explosion, a roar – the victim’s friend told police – and Pio collapsed, his face was destroyed by the gunfire.” Efforts to save the boy were futile: screams, desperation and a rush to the CTO emergency room, where the 19-year-old arrived in desperate condition. His heart stopped beating not long after that.

Investigation
Trying to reconstruct the pieces of this umpteenth mosaic of death is the agent of Flying team directed by Giovanni Leuci. We start from a “broad” context: the experience of recent years has shown how in Naples a person can die in vain, because of a dishonored road, because of a drop of cocktail spilled on a shoe, or because of glancing too often at a girl. However, investigators soon began to narrow the scope of the investigation. Because we cannot ignore the victim’s recent past: from his unclear past and from the legal misdeeds that tell of a teenager who was already involved in drug trafficking.
Solomon lived in St. Old Ephramoand for years he had made bad company. But most importantly, he had entered a vortex that was luring too many people, too many young people tempted to make a lot of money, and quickly. So we see a world that revolves around the trafficking of cocaine, marijuana and hashish: a world in which growing children improvise as pushers, cultivating clients who request home delivery of drugs and setting up drug trafficking centers even where the spaces are occupied by the Camorra. A disturbing phenomenon that is spreading. We are faced with a new generation of baby pushers who are ready to do anything. And the mature framework of this latest crime cannot be far from the tragedies that have occurred: from those of Emanuele Tufano and Emanuele Durante to Arcangelo Correra and, before that, Emanuele Sibillo.
Dangerous area
To close this chapter of the investigation – coordinated by the Naples Anti-Mafia Prosecutor’s Office taking into account the execution methods of the Camorra murders – it must be said that together with Mobile agents, colleagues from the Scientific Police are also working at this time. And they also have a lot of work: in the Via Generale Francesco Pinto area, where the murder occurred, apparently there are several surveillance cameras; in frames obtained by police, the faces and cars of the fleeing hitmen could appear.

But if we want to fully understand the meaning of this latest murder, we cannot ignore other facts. Salomone was murdered not far from the Piazza Carlo III park: not just any place, but over the years the promenade in the shadow of the Albergo dei Poveri has become one of the most dangerous places and should be avoided, especially at night and on weekends. In fact, this is where a group of young people meet and then go have fun. The problem is not only theirs: land clearing is a regular destination for gangs of dangerous young people who come not only from Arenaccia, but also from Borgo Sant’Antonio Abate, Secondigliano and Scampia. And even there he sells himself well.
