Delusional' mob boss murder suspect 'believed he was on a mission for Trump when he gunned down Gambino kingpin Frank Cali', court documents show

The man allegedly believed he was on a mission for President Donald Trump, with whom he is obsessed with. Authorities had feared alleged shooter Anthony Comello, 24, of Staten Island had ties to the mafia and was acting on the orders of one of the five major New York crime families, due to the crime's high-profile nature.
Comello arrived at Cali's home in March, with the sole purpose of arresting the mafioso, as he reportedly believed he was ordered to do by Trump. When Cali resisted an attempted citizen's arrest, Comello allegedly shot him and left him to die in the street.
Comello was arrested at his parents' home three days after the murder. The court documents, filed by his attorney Robert C. Gottlieb, show Gottlieb's conviction that Comello had no ties to the mafia but rather had convinced himself he was on a mission for Trump. 'He ardently believed that Francesco Cali, a boss in the Gambino crime family, was a prominent member of the deep state, and, accordingly, an appropriate target for a citizen's arrest,' he stated
