26-year-old suspect caught at fast-food place after healthcare exec murder
Police caught the suspect in last weeks killing of UnitedHealth leader at Pennsylvania McDonalds. The arrest revealed a ghost-gun‚ fake IDs and documents showing possible anti-corporate thoughts
Last week police caught Luigi Mangione eating at a McDonalds in Altoona PA — ending a five-day search for the person who killed UnitedHealth exec Brian Thompson. A worker noticed him cause he looked just like the wanted person
The cops found interesting stuff with him: a home-made ghost-gun (maybe 3D printed); silencer and some fake IDʼs. Chief Detective Joseph Kenny said they also got a paper that shows what was in the suspects mind but didnt name specific targets. The guy seems mad at big companies: thats what NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch pointed out
The murder happened in front of a Manhattan hotel where the killer — wearing a mask waited for the 50-year old exec. After shooting he rode his bike through Central Park then took a cab to catch a bus out-of-town. The shell casings at the crime scene had weird words carved in them: deny defend depose
Mangione has an odd background - born in Towson MD studied at UPenn (got computer degrees) and recently lived in Hawaii. His online stuff shows he spent time at Stanford too. The 26-year old suspect will face charges in NY after questions from detectives
The victim Thompson worked at UnitedHealth for like 20 years and ran their insurance part since 04/21. He was in NY for a big meeting when this happened (leaving behind two kids)
