Luigi Mangione, 26, was detained in Altoona, Pennsylvania Monday, Dec. 9, and identified as a person of interest in the shooting death of UntiedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione was picked up five days after Thompson was killed outside the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City early in the morning on Dec. 4. Though he was labeled a person of interest, he has not yet been arrested or officially charged in connection to Thompson’s death. (He was, however, arrested on a firearms charge in Altoona.)
