(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 3 - A 17-year-old boy has admitted to shooting dead an 19-year-old man in the town of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, near Naples, on the night between Friday and Saturday, sources said on Sunday.
    The suspect had initially tried to deny being the killer but eventually confessed to police after being fingered by several eye-witnesses and due to the evidence of footage from video-surveillance cameras, the sources said.
    The victim has been named as Santo Romano, a goalkeeper for Micri di Volla soccer team in the semi-professional Eccellenza championship, the fifth tier of Italian football.
    He died of his injuries in hospital after being shot in the chest during a row between two groups of young people.
    The suspected killer had reportedly only recently been released from a juvenile detention centre. (ANSA).
