A trap, which for Leonardo Mocci turned into a date with death. As the hours pass , the contours of the murder of the 23-year-old bricklayer from Villacidro, which took place during the night between Wednesday and Thursday in Piazza Settimio Severo, in Monserrato, are becoming increasingly clear. The Carabinieri investigation is getting closer to identifying the person who pulled the trigger of the large-caliber pistol that fired the single shot that struck the young man in the heart. The truth about the killer's identity is close, as is that of his accomplices.
As investigators continue their investigations, details are beginning to filter out why Mocci was there, in that square, that night.
He had accompanied a friend, with whom he arrived on site aboard the family Panda, who had a meeting scheduled with a group of young people: he had a mysterious business to close and Mocci only had to guarantee him support.
The victim's friend approached the young men. Something went wrong: the wounds on his face when the Carabinieri tracked him down a few hours after the crime prove it. The boy was captured by local municipal cameras speeding away from the square in the car the two of them had arrived in. But he was alone. Because—and here we're back to the realm of speculation—Mocci had gotten out to lend him a hand. There may have been a further struggle, during which someone used the weapon that killed him.
Residents in the area clearly heard an argument. Then the shot. And they saw the twenty-three-year-old collapse on the asphalt, where he remained lifeless.
There were at least ten people present: all were subjected to the stub test, to determine who fired the gun . The results of the test will be crucial in putting a face and name to the killer. And to those who were with him. The protagonists of a deadly trap.
