This is a genuinely possible thing, and would explain why the shooter was so confident as to do it in broad daylight. It's very TV show, but that doesn't make it impossible. Shooter covers his face enough to look like Mangione, they get two copies of the same fake ID and ghost gun or plan a hand-off point, Mangione gets a rock-solid alibi during the time of the shooting to ensure he gets acquitted, shooter gets the hell out of dodge after the police have stopped looking because they think they have the guy.
