Dozens of the author's compatriots, several family members and his partner, also of Albanian nationality, also participated in the search.

The body was found in the late morning hours. The cause of death was probably a gunshot, possibly fired by the owner of the house where the thieves had entered around 10:00 pm on Sunday evening. A gun, possibly used for the shooting, was also stolen from the house. It remains unclear who opened fire first, the bandits or the owner of the house, now under investigation along with another thief, currently hospitalized in the Cardarelli hospital, also wounded by a bullet. A third person is still missing.

The victim had no criminal record. He also leaves behind a three-year-old daughter. The body was found in a creek and was covered with sheets, a circumstance that suggests the man may have been transported there by someone and then hidden. The owner of the house, where the thieves managed to enter, is now being investigated for involuntary manslaughter and concealment of a corpse. According to initial reports, he confessed to the crime this morning, making the search easier. /CNA
