Old  Default Suspect in killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson in custody
The man suspected of killing UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson was arrested and arraigned on Monday, marking the end of a five-day manhunt. Luigi Mangione, 26, was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after being recognized at a McDonald’s by a customer and an employee who thought he resembled the gunman, officials announced at a press conference.

Mangione was approached by two police officers inside the restaurant, who asked if he had recently been in New York. He reportedly became visibly nervous and remained silent. A search of his backpack at the police station revealed a loaded, untraceable "ghost gun" equipped with a silencer, along with a mask and clothing matching those used in the Manhattan shooting.

Authorities also discovered multiple fraudulent IDs, a significant amount of cash, and electronic devices in Mangione’s possession. A handwritten document was found among his belongings, shedding light on his motivations and mindset. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch indicated that while the document did not name specific targets, it reflected Mangione's animosity toward corporate America.

Mangione, a Maryland native, graduated as valedictorian from a private school in Baltimore in 2016 and later earned dual engineering degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020. His last known residence was in Honolulu, Hawaii, according to officials.

The brazen murder of Thompson occurred early Wednesday morning outside a Manhattan hotel. The masked gunman appeared to lie in wait before shooting Thompson in the back and fleeing the scene on a bike. Surveillance footage showed him later entering a bus station, leading investigators to believe he used a bus to leave New York City.

During Mangione's arraignment at the Blair County courthouse in Pennsylvania, he faced gun and forgery charges. Prosecutors argued that his possession of fake IDs and cash made him a flight risk, leading the judge to deny bail. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro confirmed that Mangione would face charges in New York soon.

Investigators are working to determine whether Mangione had accomplices or additional targets. Shell casings found at the scene bore the words "deny," "defend," and "depose," possibly referencing a critical book about the insurance industry. This detail has fueled speculation about Mangione’s motives, particularly his reported resentment toward corporate America.

Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two and the CEO of UnitedHealth Group's insurance unit since 2021, had been in New York for the company’s annual investor conference. His death has sparked outrage and frustration among Americans discontented with rising healthcare costs and insurance practices. However, Governor Shapiro condemned any glorification of the suspect, emphasizing that policy disagreements must never justify violence.

UnitedHealth expressed its hope that Mangione’s apprehension would provide some solace to Thompson’s loved ones and colleagues, mourning the loss of a dedicated leader and family man.
