Hunt for C.E.O.’s Killer Leads to Arrest in Pennsylvania
The New York Times
Luigi Mangione was arrested after a tip from a McDonald’s in Altoona. The police said they found him with fake identification and a gun that matched the assassin’s.
The tipster’s call to the local police came in shortly after 9 a.m. Monday from a McDonald’s in western Pennsylvania.
A customer there, the caller said, resembled the man shown in photos shared by New York authorities who were searching for a suspect in the brazen killing of a health insurance executive in Manhattan last week.
When officers arrived at the McDonald’s in Altoona, they spoke to the patron, Luigi Mangione, and discovered that he had fake identification and a gun and silencer similar to those used in the killing of the executive, Brian Thompson, officials said.
Also in Mr. Mangione’s possession, officials said, was a handwritten manifesto that condemned health care companies for putting profits above patients.
So it was that the manhunt for the gunman who killed Mr. Thompson, UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, came to at least a temporary halt about 300 miles from where the assassination occurred.
The Altoona police arrested Mr. Mangione, 26, on gun charges, and investigators were questioning him about the killing of Mr. Thompson, 50. About a dozen New York City officers had arrived at Altoona police headquarters by midafternoon.
