Anthony Comello was arrested Saturday in the death of Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali.

The letter is associated with QAnon. That's a conspiracy theory that suggests a "deep state" plot against Trump and contends special counsel Robert Mueller is actually investigating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.
Asked what was on Comello's hand, his lawyer Brian Neary replied: "Handcuffs."
