Residents of a tony New Jersey town are freaked out that accused CEO assassin Luigi Mangione listed their street on a phony ID he used while on the run.
It’s unclear why Mangione, a 26-year-old tech wiz originally from Maryland, picked 128 Sherman Place in Maplewood as his fraudulent home but it’s been the talk of the town since news of his arrest broke, the Bergen Record reported.
“It’s crazy! I had to put my reading glasses on to make sure it wasn’t our house,” said Jonelle Delk, a resident who said she’s gotten almost a dozen calls and texts from friends and family.
Sherman Place is a real street that the Record said only has about a dozen houses, but there’s no home numbered 128.
“Just about everyone in my life has been texting me,” another resident said.
“We joked the address is the tree house in the backyard,” the person added, adding that even though the American healthcare system is a problem, Thompson’s death is “still a tragedy.”
None of the people who spoke to the Record that day knew who Mangione was, or had heard his name before his now-infamous alleged shooting.
Cops nabbed Mangione — who sources said is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad — while he ate at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, ending an intense manhunt that began after he allegedly executed Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week.
Originally from Towson, Maryland, the former prep school valedictorian may have hated the medical community because of how it treated a sick relative, sources said.
Cops found an untraceable, homemade “ghost gun” with a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs and a two-and-a-half page manifesto on Mangione when they arrested him, sources said.
In the writing, he seethed, “These parasites had it coming,” law enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.
Michael Maier has lived on Sherman Place for three decades, and said the whole case is “terrible.”
“You hear people have problems with health care and coverage getting denied, and maybe that happened to someone he knew or him,” Maier told the Record.
“What concerns me more is that this is another instance of gun violence. This country has a serious gun problem. It’s ridiculous.”
