Naples police say they have detained a suspect in a gangland-style slaying which was captured on a surveillance camera. The video was made public last month by prosecutors in hopes citizens might recognize the killer.Paramilitary Carabinieri police said Thursday they had detained Costanzo Apice in the countryside. They declined to say how they found him but did say they were not tipped to the 28-year-old man's whereabouts by a citizen who saw the video.
Last May, a man fired shots into the back and head of a man smoking a cigarette outside a coffee bar on a Naples street. The unmasked gunman walked away while onlookers seemed largely unfazed.
Investigators said the slaying appeared to be the work of the Camorra, the Naples crime syndicate.
