Luigi Mangione, suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was charged with murder, criminal possession of a firearm, and possession of a forged document on Monday.
Mangione was charged with murder, second-degree possession of a forged document, and both second and third-degree criminal possession of a firearm after the New York Police Department announced his arrest on Monday in connection with the killing of Thompson, who was shot to death on a sidewalk in Manhattan last week.
Mangione was arrested after being spotted at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Someone recognized him as the suspect in Thompson’s killing and dialed 911.
The suspect reportedly had a manifesto on his person when he was arrested by police, including lines such as “it had to be done” and “these parasites had it coming.” Police also reportedly discovered a weapon and suppressor, several fake IDs, and a mask.
“We are deeply saddened and shocked at the passing of our dear friend and colleague Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare,” said UnitedHealth Group
