A 26-year-old man identified as Luigi Mangione arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania has been identified as the person of interest in the Dec. 4 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to the New York Times. Mangione was arrested with what police have described as a “manifesto,” according to the Times, as well as a firearm described as a ghost gun, a weapon assembled from parts either purchased individually or sometimes 3D printed.
Mangione was arrested, roughly 400 miles west of New York City, on firearms charges but has not been charged with the death of Thompson, according to the Times. He was reportedly carrying “multiple” fake IDs.
From this article all I can see is the Internet giving this man a well deserved warm embrace.
I knew he’d get caught eventually. In fact, I’m surprised and impressed he lasted this long. But I’m really hopeful his jury acquits him.
I’ve never seen a suspect’s face plastered across so many articles/thumbnails/posts on my life. If every suspect got this treatment the number of unsolved cases would plummet.
