Forio d’Ischia Shooting Leaves Two Dead and Ex-Wife Gravely Injured

The suspect returned that evening armed with an illegal Beretta to target his family after a morning complaint to Carabinieri

Overview

  • Luongo traveled from Pomigliano d’Arco, rented a car in Casamicciola, and spent the day waiting before the evening attack.
  • The gunfire erupted around 6:30 p.m. on Via Provinciale Panza, killing 49-year-old Nunzio Russo Spena and 62-year-old Zinoviya Knihnitska.
  • Lyudmyla Velykgolova survived after sustaining six gunshot wounds and was airlifted in critical condition to Naples’ Cardarelli hospital as Luongo died of a self-inflicted wound en route to the local hospital.
  • Earlier that morning Velykgolova and her mother spotted Luongo, alerted Carabinieri, and filed a formal complaint despite no prior records of harassment.
  • Forio’s mayor declared the incident a femicide, canceled local events, and pledged support for the victims’ families as forensic teams continue examining the crime scene.
