NEW YORK — A person of interest identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was arrested Monday in connection to the Midtown Manhattan murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the Hilton Hotel following a five-day manhunt, police said. The break in the shocking case came when a worker at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Penn., recognized Mangione’s face from surveillance images released by the NYPD, authorities said. The worker called in the tip and police in Altoona arrested Mangione on gun charges inside the fast food joint. He was carrying a three-page handwritten manifesto when cops found him, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a press conference at City Hall Monday. His writings were critical of the health care industry and included complaints about how the industry treated a sick relative, police sources told the Daily News. “It does seem he has some ill will toward corporate America,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters. The elusive shooter was the suspect of an intense search since the Wednesday shooting, with police scouring surveillance footage and using drones, dogs, scuba divers, and the NYPD’s high-tech “domain awareness system” in attempt to track his moments via bicycle, cab and bus. Mangione was carrying a gun that appears to match the murder weapon seen in security video of the shooting, police sources said. He also had a suppressor for the firearm, “both consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” Tisch said, as well as clothing and a mask “consistent” with the shooter’s garb. He was carrying a fake ID which matched the ID used to check into the hostel, she said. He had several fake IDs, including a U.S. passport, police said. “The gun appears to be a ghost gun, may have been made on a 3D printer,” Kenny added. Mangione was not on investigators’ radar prior to the tip and police didn’t have his name before Monday, officials said. “The combination of old-school detective work and new-age technology is what lead to this result today,” Tisch said. Added Kenny, “I really couldn’t put it on one thing but if I had to I’d put it on the release of that photograph from the media.” NYPD detectives were on their way to Pennsylvania to interview the suspect Monday afternoon. Mangione graduated top of his high school class and went on to major in computer science at University of Pennsylvania. Included on an online list of books Mangione read this year is Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski’s “Industrial Society and its Future”, which he rated four out of five stars. Police sources said Mangione’s manifesto used language similar to his online writings about Kaczynski. Mangione graduated as valedictorian of the private, all-boys Gilman School in 2016, according to the Baltimore school’s website. In a recap of the graduation ceremony posted on the site, Mangione is quoted as commending his classmates for their “inventive, pioneering mentality that accompanies a strong commitment to Gilman tradition.” Mangione’s last known address is Honolulu, Hawaii, police said. He has connections to San Francisco and no arrest history in New York City. His cousin is Nino Mangione, a GOP lawmaker who represents a suburban Baltimore district in the state’s House of Delegates, the lawmaker’s office confirmed Monday. There is no indication that Nino Mangione had any ties to the shocking assassination. Police were offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the gunman’s capture as the search for the masked shooter continued. The FBI also offered $50,000 for information resulting in an arrest and conviction of the suspect. Harrowing surveillance footage shows the suspect creeping up and shooting Thompson in the back on W. 54th St. near Sixth Ave. about 6:45 a.m. Wednesday. The 50-year-old CEO of the Minnesota-based company was approaching the Hilton to help prepare for an investor day conference, officials said. After shooting Thompson in the back, the gunman then coolly clears a jam in his pistol before firing at least three more times, the video shows. He fled the scene on a bicycle and disappeared in Central Park but cops picked up his trail late Wednesday night on the Upper West Side. Cops found the words “Deny,” “Delay,” and “Depose” written on the bullets — a supposed insurance industry mantra for delaying claims and maximizing profits — leading police to believe that the killer has a beef with the insurance industry. The gunman arrived in New York City on a Greyhound bus from Atlanta more than a week before unraveling his murder plot. NYPD detectives, with the help of Port Authority police, managed to track the gunman’s movements from when he first arrived in the city. Police sources said the suspect arrived in the city on a Greyhound bus from Atlanta on the evening of Nov. 24. He found his way to the HI New York City Hostel on Amsterdam Ave. near W. 104th St., where cops recovered images of the suspect without a mask and smiling at someone behind the reception desk. The hostel staffer reportedly got the suspect to smile by flirting with him and asking him to pull down his mask to “see his handsome face.” Police do not believe Mangione was trying to flee the country, Kenny said. When the tipster spotted him, the Chief of Detectives added, “He was sitting there, eating.” (Daily News staff writer David Goldiner contributed to this story.) ©2024 New York Daily News.

Work and pensions minister Sir Stephen Timms said the move aims to drive “real improvements” for disabled people, whom the ministers will be encouraged to engage with on a regular basis. He told the Commons: “I am very pleased to be able to announce today the appointment of new lead ministers for disability in each Government department, they will represent the interests of disabled people, champion disability inclusion and accessibility within their departments. “I’m going to chair regular meetings with them and will encourage them to engage directly with disabled people and their representative organisations, as they take forward their departmental priorities. “And I look forward to this new group of lead ministers for disability together driving real improvements across Government for disabled people.” This came during an adjournment debate on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, where Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling raised concerns about “floating bus stops”, which have a cycle lane between the stop and the pavement. Intervening, the MP for Torbay, who is registered blind, said: “The Government needs to ban floating bus stops.” Sir Stephen said: “I do think this issue about floating bus stops is an important issue which we need to work across Government to reflect on.” Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, who led the debate, had earlier criticised the lack of accessibility for disabled people on trains. The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP said: “Our train network does not have level access, and we heard Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson from the other place make this plea back in the summer, absolutely outrageous what she was put through. “But I was absolutely shocked to find, when I had a presentation of the TransPennine route upgrade, that the rolling stock yet to be commissioned is not going to provide that level access. “It’s absolute nonsense, it’s not even in the design of that procurement, so we must do better than this.”
