NEW DETAILS: On Dec. 9 just after 9 a.m., officers received a phone call about a suspicious male, later identified as Luigi Mangione. The caller told officers that he resembled the man who had shot and killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York.
Police arrived at the scene to find Mangione wearing a beanie and a medical mask. They made contact with Mangione and asked him to pull down his mask and police then positively identified him as the shooting suspect, according to a criminal complaint.
Police asked him for his ID and he allegedly provided them with a fake New Jersey one. They asked Mangione if he had been to New York recently and police stated he became quiet and started to shake.
Officers were unable to find any record of the ID he’d provided and informed him that he was under investigation and if he was lying he would be arrested. Mangione then admitted to giving them a fake ID and provided them with his real name. When asked why he lied Mangione allegedly only said, “Clearly I shouldn’t have.”
At this point, he was taken into custody. In a search of his belongings, police noted they found a 3D-printed pistol, six metal rounds, and a 3D-printed silencer.
Mangione is facing charges of forgery, providing false identification to law enforcement, firearms not to be carried without a license, tampering with records or identification and possessing an instrument of crime.

It’s also been reported that the man had a three-page document that was critical of the health insurance industry with him, according to Kenny.
During a press conference held by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the suspect was identified as Luigi Mangione of Maryland who was arrested in Altoona on firearms charges. Mayor Adams said Mangione is a “strong person of interest” in the case. He added a McDonald’s employee saw Mangione and contacted law enforcement.
CBS has confirmed that he was found with a gun similar to the one used in Thompson’s killing. According to the mayor’s press conference, Altoona police told investigators in New York City that the gun appeared to be a “ghost gun” made using a 3D printer.

The Associated Press reported that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Thompson’s killer used a 9 mm pistol that police said resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise.
The suspect reportedly had a fake New Jersey ID that was used at a Manhattan hostel where the gunman was believed to have stayed before the shooting, sources told WPIX in New York City.
It’s also reported that the NYPD is headed to Altoona to question the suspect. No name has been released at this time.
Monday marks the sixth day of the search for Thompson’s killer after he was shot in New York City Dec. 4. On Sunday, The Associated Press reported that the suspect remained an enigma, however, there’s one thing authorities are confident about: The attack was targeted and not random.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said the fact the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare was holding a conference at that hotel and what route Thompson might take suggests he could be a disgruntled employee or client.
