The tip provided by the San Francisco Police Department was general in nature and was based off a missing persons report that had been filed in November by Mangione's family, the senior officials told NBC New York. It was among the hundreds of tips and possible leads investigators were assessing and working on when Mangione was found in a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.
"FBI New York conducted routine investigative activity and referred this and other leads to the New York City Police Department as part of our assistance to them in their investigation," the statement read, and credited"extensive sharing" of the photos by law enforcement as leading to Mangione being identified by a citizen at the restaurant.
Roughly a half hour before the shooting, video from a Starbucks location in midtown Manhattan showed the masked-up killer buying a bottle of water and a KIND bar. Police said five fingerprints on a water bottle and and two fingerprints on a KIND bar wrapper found near the scene of the shooting matched Mangione's.
