The young man arrested for shooting three boys to death after a fight over trivial matters in Monreale , with two other passers-by injured in the incident, is a 19-year-old from Palermo with a minor criminal record : Salvatore Calvaruso , this is the name of the 19-year-old, is accused of massacre, illegal possession and illegal possession of a firearm.
According to what emerges, Caruso first confessed with spontaneous statements, then availed himself of the right to remain silent. The boy, therefore, admitted the facts at first, but in front of the prosecutor, subsequently, he refused to answer. His statements , therefore, are not usable at this time.
Also under questioning is a second young man who allegedly played a leading role in the shooting.
"The self-incriminating statements made by the suspect appear to be fully supported by the content of the video surveillance footage , acquired from commercial establishments located in the area adjacent to the one in which the events occurred," writes the prosecutor in the arrest warrant for Salvatore Calvaruso.
The young man said that during the argument "that gave rise to the shooting" he "had lost his glasses, in the area where the events occurred". And right there the carabinieri found the glasses "perfectly corresponding to those worn and used by Calvaruso as shown in a photograph taken from social media". For the prosecutor "an objective individualizing element that allows us to reasonably establish the presence of the suspect on the spot".
Calvaruso was also reportedly recognized by two people, who confirmed his presence at the site of the massacre.
The fight would have arisen from a banal reprimand born from a somewhat reckless driving of the young people riding their scooters. Then the fight with chairs, tables, glass bottles thrown from one side of the road to the other. Then the shots. And the tragedy.
Two young men who were part of the group that had scolded the boys riding scooters remained on the ground: cousins Salvatore Turdo, 23, and Andrea Miceli, 26, who died after a night of agony in the hospital. The gunshots also fatally hit Massimo Pirozzo, 26, who was passing along the road and who was not involved in the fight.
