Caught at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., Luigi Mangione was arrested for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione was visibly nervous when confronted by law enforcement, as court documents reveal. It’s no surprise he tried to blend in with a blue medical mask and was engrossed in a silver laptop when officers approached him at the fast-food restaurant.
Upon being asked to remove his mask, officers immediately identified him as the wanted suspect for Thompson’s NYC murder, having seen his images circulated by media outlets.

Mangione tried to deceive officers with a fake ID under the name Mark Rosario. However, police quickly uncovered its falsity and questioned his dishonesty. He admitted, “I clearly shouldn’t have,” as per court records. Subsequently, Mangione was taken into custody.
In his backpack, officers discovered a black 3D-printed pistol and silencer. The weapon featured a metal slide and plastic handle with a threaded barrel made of metal. The firearm contained one loaded Glock magazine with six nine-millimeter full metal jacket rounds. The silencer was also 3D printed, according to police reports.
