'Strong person of interest' arrested in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

A "strong person of interest" has been arrested in connection to the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson after a McDonald's employee recognized his description from a police flyer, according to the New York Police Department.

The man was taken into custody around 9:15 a.m. EST in Altoona, Pennsylvania after police received a tip that he was eating at a McDonald's, according to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny identified 26-year-old Luigi Nicholas Mangione as a person of interest taken into custody on firearm charges stating he was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and his last known address is Honolulu, Hawaii.

Mayor Eric Adams said during a news conference that Mangione "matches the description of the identification we've been looking for" and added he was "in possession of several items that we believe will connect him to this incident."

The mayor called it "good, old-fashioned police work" which led to someone recognizing the potential suspect.
