Update: Sharon Amity neighbor speaks on community death

Ralph Mello lives on Lyttleton Road. He was a neighbor to the man who was found dead in his home on Sharon Amity Road. Mello was asked if the police in his neighborhood frightened him. “This is not distressing because you see the police presence,” said Mello, but he continued “It’s like someone died and then they found explosive devices in the home that’s what all the commotion was, well, so it’s kind of like no time to be upset because it’s over.” 

Mello also told reporters that the man walked everywhere he went because he did not have a car. The man also appeared to have some sort of physical disability.
