Yeah, but I think they just ran out of gas. It's the most logical explanation.

The crew would have known they were low and declared an emergency much earlier and gotten priority to Naples or another airport. Haven’t heard any reports they signaled distress until just before the crash and the flight track certainly doesn’t seem to indicate anything out of the ordinary.

Crew error doesn’t seem likely either - hard to mistakenly shut off both engines instead of lowering the gear or flaps.

My guess is a fuel system/contamination issue, but speculating at this point doesn’t do much good. NTSB should have plenty of data to review.
