The warrant details Mangione's attempt to use a forged New Jersey driver's license under the name Mark Rosario when confronted by police. A search of his belongings uncovered a semi-automatic pistol equipped with a 3D-printed receiver, metal slide, silencer, and written confessions related to the crime.
