PERSON OF INTEREST ID'D IN CEO SHOOTING AFTER HE'S STOPPED AT MCDONALD'S IN ALTOONA, PA
NYPD names Luigi Mangione as 'strong person of interest'
The man was traveling on a Greyhound bus at the time and it was a McDonald's employee who recognized the suspect from the images shared through the media.
When Mangione was spotted at the McDonald's, he appeared to be wearing clothing similar to what he was seen wearing in videos obtained by detectives in Manhattan, according to two law enforcement sources.
Detectives will now work backwards from Altoona to understand how Mangione got there.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Altoona, Pa., police arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione on firearms charges Monday morning. "At this time, he is believed to be our person of interest in the brazen, targeted murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare last Wednesday in midtown Manhattan," Tisch told reporters during a news conference.
Tisch praised the "good old fashioned detective work" of the NYPD and the "power of the public" that led to an arrest.

At a Monday news conference, New York police detailed what they recovered when they arrested Luigi Mangione, described by New York City Mayor Eric Adams as "a strong person of interest" in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa. Those include the following:
A ghost gun consistent with the weapon seen in video footage of the crime.
A suppressor.
A fake New Jersey ID that matched the one used when the suspect checked into a Manhattan hostel.
A handwritten document police say speak to his motivation and mindset.
Clothing, including a mask, that match those worn by the suspect
