SUMMARY: Luigi Manion, a 26-year-old charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He was recognized at a McDonald’s and displayed nervous behavior when questioned about his recent whereabouts in New York City. Investigators quickly filed charges after uncovering significant evidence against him, including a fake ID linked to a hostel in Manhattan and a ghost gun capable of firing 9mm rounds. Casings from these rounds were found at the crime scene. All evidence related to Manion’s arrest has been transferred to the NYPD for further investigation.

Luigi Mangione was dressed in an orange jumpsuit as officers led him from a vehicle into the courthouse when he started shouting to the cameras. (Via CBS).
