A 22-year-old U.S. citizen was arrested on Saturday suspected of murdering a shopkeeper in a town near Rome, police said. The body of Norveo Fedeli, 74, was discovered in his clothes store in Viterbo on Friday. Police said he appeared to have been struck repeatedly around the head with a blunt instrument.

Video surveillance cameras showed a young man wearing sunglasses and a back-to-front baseball cap leaving the area. Within 24 hours, police said they traced the man to the nearby town of Capodimone and arrested him in at the bed and breakfast where he had been staying.

Pang had Fedeli's wallet and credit card--so robbery is a possible motive.

Pang is a graphic designer who arrived in Italy about two months ago. He rented a room at a bed and breakfast in the village of Capodimonte.

“He was gentle with everyone and always greeted everyone,” Trombetta told CNN. Pang reportedly doesn’t speak Italian and used his mobile phone translator to communicate.

Pang allegedly ordered designer clothes worth about $670 from Fedeli’s store and went to the store twice before Friday to purchase them. His credit card, however, was rejected.

A scuffle allegedly broke out between Pang and Fedeli before Pang killed the storekeeper, police said. Pang changed his clothes and took Fedeli’s wallet before fleeing with one of his shoes covered in a bag.
