Luigi Mangione charged with murder of healthcare CEO
BBCA 26-year-old man has been charged with murder in last week’s fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.
Luigi Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald’s in the town of Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles (450km) west of New York City on Monday after a customer at the fast-food outlet recognised him.
He was found in possession of a 3D-printed gun and a handwritten document that indicated “motivation and mindset”, according to police.
Mr Mangione appeared later in a Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on five initial counts and was denied bail.
