Authorities have arrested a man in connection with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The suspect, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, was taken into custody while eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee recognized him and alerted police.
Mangione was found with a firearm and several fake IDs, including one matching a fraudulent New Jersey ID used to book a hostel in New York before the shooting. Police also discovered a disturbing document expressing hostility towards the healthcare industry and suggesting violence as a solution. Investigators believe he acted alone and are working to extradite him to New York for further questioning.
Meanwhile, a backpack linked to him was found in Central Park containing Monopoly money and a jacket. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are piecing together the events that led to this tragic incident.
