Ostia 19-Year-Old Dies After Late-Night Stabbing as Police Search for Attacker

Detectives are pursuing a drug-dispute lead in a camera-poor stretch of Ostia that complicates the hunt.

Overview

  • The 19-year-old died at Rome’s San Camillo hospital after emergency surgery following a stabbing hours earlier.
  • The confrontation occurred around 11 p.m. near via Umberto Cagni and via Antonio Forni in Ostia Nuova.
  • The knife struck his right thigh and severed the femoral artery after initial treatment at Ospedale Grassi in Ostia.
  • Carabinieri are interviewing witnesses and reconstructing a fight that involved multiple people.
  • Investigators are working on a possible dispute linked to local drug selling, with few useful cameras and no suspect identified.
