      Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on the man, as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.

      Ummm… That’s awfully convenient. He just happened to have brought that exact gun with its suppressor to McDonald’s. I’m skeptical.

        How do you not throw the gun away before leaving the city?? The ID was apparently on him too

          Exactly this. He pulls off the hit, escapes without a trace. But is somehow dumb enough to carry convicting evidence on him still while in a very public location?

          Anyone would know to dump the evidence and lay low for a good while.

            Toss that shit in a river and go back to your life like nothing happened.

            Laying low and hiding just makes people suspicious. If the cops come looking and your work and friends haven’t seen you since the shooting, you look guilty as fuck.

            Leave no trace and go back to your life. Looks way more plausible that you just took a mini vacation that way.

              People online are saying he was expecting to get caught - Hence the YouTube video he released.

              A real shame, his expectations lead to the outcome.

                  channel it was uploaded onto https://web.archive.org/web/20241209203920/https://www.youtube.com/@PepMangione might be him, probably not him, although interestingly its now a 404 page.

              Really weird scapegoat - super connected and wealthy family from Maryland? 40k a year private school? Cousin that’s hardcore conservative and holds an elected office?

            I’m honestly willing to believe him being dumb founded for the last week, fully expecting to have been caught and said fuck it, better me than someone innocent.

        They must have planted it back on him.

        Found in a lake, then planted and parallel constructed

        From the video, it sounded like they searched his residence and found it there.

        Don’t forget, they basically found a long drawn out letter about how much dislike he has for CEOs - something along those lines.

        We all know that just what you go around carrying after you pulled off a crime like that.
