Explain the following article briefly:
Murder around 10 am today (Sunday, February 18) in Lentini, in the province of Siracusa. The victim is a 38-year-old former special watchlist prisoner, Sebastiano Palermo. He was killed with several gunshots to the face by a killer, who, according to a preliminary reconstruction by the Carabinieri, who are investigating under the coordination of the magistrates of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Siracusa, waited for him outside his home on Novara Street , in the San Paolo neighborhood, in the historic center of the city. As soon as the man crossed the entrance of the building where he lived, he was shot down, seemingly in a mafioso style. Some passersby called the Carabinieri for help and alerted the emergency services. The area of the murder has been cordoned off. The military have already begun to interview some people and are obtaining images from the cameras in the area.
