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 restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles (450 kilometers) west of New York City, on Monday after a customer at the fast food restaurant recognized him.
Police said a 3D-printed gun and a handwritten document indicating “motive and mentality” were found in his possession.
Mr. Mangione then appeared in a Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on five preliminary charges and was denied bail.
A few hours later, New York investigators charged Mr. Mangione with murder and four other charges, including firearms charges.
Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in the back last Wednesday morning outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan where UnitedHealthcare, the medical insurance giant he leads, was holding an investors meeting.
Police say he was targeted in a pre-planned killing.
