For everyone he was a good person, with a big heart. Always ready to help others. But someone shot him a gunshot to the head, killing him and leaving the body inside the car, lying in the cockpit, so that the finding was delayed. Massimo Melis, 52-year-old of Sardinian origin, with a clean record, an employee of the Green Cross of Turin and who lived with his elderly mother, was killed in via Gottardo in the night between 31 October and 1 November, but was found only yesterday afternoon the corpse.
In that area, known for its thriving drug dealing business, passers-by do not look inside the cars, plus the Punto was parked in an isolated area. That's why the alarm didn't go off right away.
Everything points to an execution, but none of his friends can accept such a hypothesis. Because Max, as everyone knew him, was "the best man in the world" and then it could have been a mistake, many speculate.
From what has been reconstructed so far, Melis had accompanied a woman (perhaps his girlfriend or a friend) home, had stopped to smoke a cigarette and was about to get back into the car. Could he have had a special bond with her so much that someone has a violent jealousy? Theories, assumptions, still nothing certain. That evening they had gone out together, he had reached the entrance hall of the condominium and then went back. At that moment the killer went into action, fired a single shot reaching Melis in the left temple and the bullet lodged in the passenger door.
On social media there are many messages of condolence for this tragedy, friends are asking for justice to be done.
Investigations are difficult for the Flying Squad, there are not even the surveillance cameras in that place that could have provided useful information.
