26-Year-Old Luigi Mangione Arrested Over NY CEO Murder
Police in Pennsylvania have detained a 26-year-old man identified as Mr. Luigi Mangione in connection with United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder last week in New York City.
According to authorities, Mr. Luigi Mangione, 26, is the “strong person of interest” since he was discovered to possess a handwritten document that revealed the suspect’s “motivation and mindset.”
They arrested Mr. Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, roughly 280 miles (450 km) west of New York City.
According to the police, he possessed a “ghost gun” that could fire 9mm rounds and was most likely created using a 3D printer. He also possessed a silencer, sometimes referred to as a suppressor.
Although Luigi Mangione is facing firearms charges in Pennsylvania, authorities claimed they have not yet charged him about the incident.
To follow the culprit, investigators had used CCTV images, bullet casings bearing mysterious messages, and his movements.
They also collaborated with the FBI and law enforcement in other states, but this arrest may have resulted from a fast-food restaurant employee tip.

Jessica Tisch, a New York police commissioner, called Luigi Mangione a “suspect” during a press conference on Monday.
She claimed that the suppressor, which is a device attached to a firearm’s muzzle to lessen shooting noise, and the confiscated weapon were “both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.”
She also mentioned that Mr. Mangione was suspicious, so an Altoona McDonald’s employee had phoned the police to report him.
New York Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny indicated that Mr. Mangione had “ill will towards corporate America” based on a three-page handwritten memo discovered in his hands.
According to Detective Kenny, Mr. Mangione has connections to San Francisco, California, and was born and reared in Maryland. Although his last known residence was in Honolulu, Hawaii, authorities suspect he may have attended college in Pennsylvania.
According to BBC, Luigi Mangione is unlikely to be sent back to the state right away if he is identified as the suspect in the New York shooting until a formal extradition procedure is completed.
