Emanuele De Angelis has a criminal record, found dead recently in the Soccavo district, in Naples.
The police are reconstructing De Angelis' contacts with the clans of the western area, among which a feud with injuries and murders has been going on for weeks.
Yesterday afternoon 15 gunshots were fired in via Palazziello, in the same district of Soccavo, against Antonio Ernano, 44, brother-in-law of the boss Alfredo Vigilia, nicknamed "'0 Niro".
Ernano, intercepted by the assassins while he was in the car with his wife, managed to escape and was wounded in the buttock by a bullet.
The police are investigating the possible connection between the two episodes.
