His friend Le posted a lengthy tribute on Instagram Stories just hours after he was named as Brian Thompson’s murder suspect.
She wrote: “Luigi Mangione is probably the most googled keyword today.
“When I first saw the news, I was hoping it was just either a common name or a mistake.”
She added: “Because it was, for a while, the only name whose FaceTime calls I would pick up. Luigi was one of my best, closest and most trusted friends.
“He was absolutely #1 in my group chat named ‘Tracy’s favorites.’
“He was whom I always came to for identity crisis rants, relationship problems, career complaints. And always left feeling better.”
Her tribute revealed the heartbreak and confusion she faced at the actions Mangione has been alleged to have taken.
She continued: “He was caring, and smart, and mature, and sweet, and so considerate.
“I would visit him and always 100 per cent depended on him to plan the trips and always 100 per cent believed we would have the best time.”
Le ended the heartfelt post: “I am shaken, I am blindsided, but most of all I, am sad.
“I am heartbroken. I am overwhelmed.”
Le is featured in several photographs with Mangione, which remain on her Instagram account, taken in Honolulu, Hawaii, back in April 2022 with a group of friends.
It is believed they were staying at Surfbreak, a co-living space near Ala Moana Beach Park.
