UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting updates: Police identify Luigi Mangione as person of interest detained in Altoona, Pa.

NEW PHOTOS RELEASED OF PERSON OF INTEREST IN UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO MURDER

Authorities in New York City said Monday that police in Altoona, Pa. have arrested a “strong person of interest” in last week’s fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan.

At a press conference, police identified the person of interest as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who was spotted at a McDonald’s in Altoona and taken into custody by local police on gun charges. Mangione was found in possession of a ghost gun and suppressor consistent with the weapon seen in video footage of the crime, a fake New Jersey ID matching the one the suspect is believed to have used at a Manhattan hostel and clothing, including a mask, that match those worn by the suspect. Police also said Mangione was in possession of a handwritten document that speaks to his motivation and mindset.

Officers with the NYPD are traveling to Pennsylvania today to question Mangione.
