The newspaper claimed the man, nicknamed 'O Cinese, had been released from prison in May last year and had a lengthy criminal record.
The Secondigliano neighbourhood where he was shot is home to one of Italy's fiercest turf wars over the hotly-contested drug empire in the region.
Police estimate the illegal drugs trade in the area and nearby Scampia is worth £79 million a year, with dozens of killings in the battle for domination.

The Italian Mafia syndicate, which dates back hundreds of years, is said to control everything from the drug industry to waste collection in the south of the country
It is made up of family-based clans which have worked together in the past but also fight brutal wars against each other, with bloody results.
Last week the body of toddler Nicola Campolongo was found in a burnt-out car in Cosenza, Calabria.
Police believed both the killers and the victims, which also included the three-year-old's Salvatore Iannicelli, 52, and his girlfriend Ibtissa Touss, 27, hailed from the equally war-torn Ndrangheta Mafia syndicate.
On top of the car was a single unmarked 50 cent piece, apparently a symbol that the grandfather had not paid his debt.
