Manhattan prosecutors filed murder and other charges against Luigi Mangione in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot to death last week at point-blank range in front of a midtown Manhattan hotel.
Mangione was sitting in the rear of the McDonald's wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop computer, court documents said. A customer saw him and an employee called 911, said Kaz Daughtry, an NYPD deputy commissioner.Altoona Police Officer Tyler Frye said he and his partner recognized the suspect immediately when he pulled down his mask. “We just didn’t think twice about it. We knew that was our guy,” he said.
Two senior law enforcement officials say Mangione had the name"Mark Rosario" on his fake ID. Other fake IDs were found on Mangione Monday as well, investigators said.News 4 obtained an image of the fake NJ ID allegedly used to tie Luigi Mangione to the CEO investigation. Police found a three-page document with writings suggesting that Mangione had “ill will toward corporate America,” Kenny said.Altoona Deputy Chief of Police Derek Swope would not characterize the writings except to say they were voluminous.
The shooting shook U.S. businesses and the health insurance industry in particular, causing companies to rethink security plans and delete photos of executives from their websites. Mangione went from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh after the shooting, and likely “was in a variety of locations across the state,” said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police said.
On Monday, police credited news outlets for disseminating the images and the tipster for recognizing the suspect and calling authorities. He made his way to a bus station that offers commuter service to New Jersey and routes to the East Coast, police said. He left the city by bus soon after the Wednesday morning shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal in Washington Heights about 45 minutes later, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.
