Person of interest nabbed in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside NYC hotel

A person of interest was nabbed Monday in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — busted possibly trying to use a fake ID in a McDonald’s, law enforcement sources said.

The man — who sources said is being eyed for the coldblooded, targeted execution in front of a Manhattan hotel last week — allegedly had a manifesto on him when he was taken into custody by cops in Altoona, Pa.

He also had a gun, silencer, four fake IDs and other items “consistent” with what authorities were looking for in the case, sources said.

What about the other people murdered in NYC. how's THAT going?

[JGRG]

They are just going to be grabbing random people lol

[prfessrbadass]

They ain't got 💩.

I do not believe a guy who was that careful got caught walking around with the weapon still physically on him. 😂

[livefromsf]

You mean to tell me he kept the gun? No way I’m not buying it

[MG-bfzi]

Fyi looks like the snitch was an employee from one of the McDonald's locations in Altoona.

They don't even know what weapon was used. The weapon everyone is reporting is BS.

[joe-fjnc]

Not buying any of it. Too convenient. Kept the gun, suppressor and a 3 page note on him? Lol yeah right.

Police identified *Luigi Mangione, * 26, as a "strong person of interest" in the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson in Manhattan last week.

Luigi "1 Big Mac please"... McD worker: "You want cuffs with that?"

[petcatznz]

Nothing definitive yet, so why are you reporting it?

[AbigailNormal]

He hid his eyebrows so well in Starbucks! Also, plot he was found at a McDonald's on purpose; social commentary on the McDonald's Monopoly scam - it's all connected....

Someone in an Altoona, PA McDonald's snitched?
For days, most comments were positive and encouraging that he would get away and not be caught. I was more of a pessimist. The POI in Altoona has a fake NJ ID and is said to resemble the shooter with a weapon similar to that which was used. Sound like they caught him.

Since when does someone have to present ID to order at McDonald's? This POI had a manifesto on him. Maybe we all made our guy out to be brighter than this.

Is his brother Mario? Super Mario Brothers?
