19-Year-Old’s Body Found in Messina’s Giostra District

 The body of a 19-year-old was discovered last night in the Giostra district of Messina. The body was found on the sidewalk on Michelangelo Rizzo Street with a visible gunshot wound. At this time, no possibilities are being ruled out. The Mobile Squad is conducting investigations.

The victim was named Michele Lanfranchi: the 19-year-old had a history of drug trafficking. The victim had a gunshot wound to the neck. A gun was found next to the body.

This circumstance does not rule out other hypotheses beyond that of homicide, which had been suggested by the investigators of the mobile squad.

According to police, the young man may have committed suicide or been the victim of an accidental discharge. The outcome of the fingerprint and ballistic examination on the weapon will be crucial.
