Altoona Police arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, the person of interest in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a news conference Monday.

“At this time, he is believed to be our person of interest in the brazen, targeted murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, last Wednesday in midtown Manhattan,” Tisch said.

Mangione was arrested on firearms charges, Tisch said. NYPD detectives are on their way to Pennsylvania, where they hope to interview the suspect further, she noted.

Mangione was found carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, a US passport, a firearm and suppressor “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” Tisch said.
