Arrest ordered for cousin of s

Judicial authorities have ordered the arrest of the 19-year-old cousin of Arcangelo Correra, 18, who died early on Saturday after being shot in the head in downtown Naples in the third violent death of a teen reported in the southern port city over the last two weeks, investigative sources said Sunday.
    The arrest of Renato Caiafa, 19, has been ordered on charges of illegal possession of a weapon and stolen goods.
    Caiafa will also be probed on manslaughter charges in connection with his cousin's death after he told investigators that he had accidentally shot the victim while showing off the murder weapon to a group of friends, including Correra.
    The 19-year-old is the brother of Luigi Caiafa, who was shot dead at 17 by a police officer during an armed robbery in downtown Naples in 2020.
    Overall, three teens have been murdered in the area of Naples in just over two weeks.
    Before Correra, Emanuele Tufano, 15, was killed in downtown Naples in the night between October 23 and 24 during a shootout between teens.
    On November 2, 19-year-old Santo Romano was allegedly shot dead by a 17-year-old who confessed to investigators that he had murdered Romano because he had "dirtied" his designer shoes.
