‘That’s 100% him’: Newly released video shows moment police arrest Luigi Mangione

Key Points:

• Newly released body camera footage captures Pennsylvania police confronting Luigi Mangione at a McDonald’s, where they discover a gun, magazine, and silencer in his backpack; officers immediately identify him as the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
• Brian Thompson was fatally shot in the back on December 4, 2024, in Manhattan while heading to an investor conference; security footage shows Mangione approaching and firing at him from behind.
• Mangione was arrested five days later after being recognized from police photos; during the arrest, he admitted to using fake identification and was found with multiple weapons and a journal detailing plans and checklists.
• In August, Mangione pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges, admitting he posed as an investor to track Thompson and intended to shoot him, motivated by his negative experiences with the healthcare system due to a back injury.
• Prosecutors state Mangione had no personal or customer relationship with UnitedHealthcare, despite his claims and actions targeting Thompson.
