Overview
- A 39-year-old construction worker identified as Alessandro Signorile was shot multiple times while riding a bicycle in Bari’s Carbonara neighborhood on Tuesday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Carabinieri arrested a 40-year-old guardia giurata minutes after the attack near the questura after witnesses and messages led police to him.
- Prosecutors Larissa Catella and Milto Stefano De Nozza say the suspect has confessed and that early evidence points to a personal or passion-related motive tied to a reported relationship.
- Authorities sealed the crime scene, collected evidence and plan a medico-legal autopsy, while formal charges and detailed forensic results remain pending.
- The suspect’s role as a periodic security guard at the Bari courthouse and prosecutor’s office raises questions about vetting and the oversight of private guards and their workplace access.
