Police said the 26-year-old suspect, identified by police as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, was arraigned and ordered held without bail during a brief court hearing Monday in Pennsylvania.
A law enforcement officer walks into the Altoona Police Department, where suspect in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting, 26-year old Luigi Mangione is being held Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, Altoona, Pa. after a quick-thinking McDonald’s employee in Pennsylvania alerted authorities to a customer who was found with a weapon and writings linking him to the ambush.
“The customer recognized, notified an employee and wanted someone to check it out further,” said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police.He likely “was in a variety of locations across the state,” Bivens said. “A Pennsylvania resident saw something early this morning and said something to our local police,” Shapiro said.
When he pulled down his mask, Altoona police officers “immediately recognized him as the suspect” in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the documents say. “He does not seem like the kind of guy to do this based on everything I’d known about him in high school,” Leatherbury said.One of his cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesperson for the delegate’s office confirmed Monday.Mangione Sr. grew up poor in Baltimore’s Little Italy and rose after his World War II naval service to become a millionaire real estate developer and philanthropist, according to a 1995 profile by the Baltimore Sun.
“We do not have any information other than what is being reported in the news,” Smyth wrote. “This is deeply distressing news on top of an already awful situation. Our hearts go out to everyone affected.”Mangione, a high school valedictorian from a Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday.
