Authorities have released the official mugshot of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who is facing five charges, including illegal gun possession, in connection with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione has not been charged with murder at the time.
Mangione was arrested on Monday, at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
A vigilant employee recognized him from widely circulated images and alerted law enforcement. Upon arrest, Mangione was found in possession of a “3D-printed ghost gun”—a firearm assembled from parts purchased online—equipped with a silencer, as well as multiple fake identifications and a handwritten manifesto criticizing the health insurance industry.
“Responding officers questioned the suspect, who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent IDs as well as a U.S. passport,” New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters Monday.
“Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on his person, as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.”
Luigi was spotted in police custody for the first time entering a courthouse in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.
The charges against Mangione include forgery, carrying a gun without a license, false identification to law enforcement authorities, and tampering with records or identification, according to The U.S. Sun.
However, he has not been formally charged with Thompson’s murder. Authorities emphasize that the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming as more evidence is gathered.
This is a developing story.
