Prosecutors in New York City have officially charged shooting suspect Luigi Mangione with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The 26-year-old suspect was arrested at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania where an employee recognized him and tipped off police. NBC’s Stephanie Gosk reports for TODAY.
A 26-year-old suspect was charged with murder in New York City on Monday night in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A five-day manhunt resulted in his arrest 280 miles away in Pennsylvania. Luigi Mangione of Towson, Maryland, was taken into custody by authorities at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Dec. 9 after an employee called the police to report a suspicious-looking person, authorities said.
Mangione was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at UPenn for four years, the organization confirmed. Alejandro Romero, who attended UPenn with the suspect, told NBC News they often played the popular video game 'Among Us' together in which they played assassins. “I just found it extremely ironic that, you know, we were in this game and there could actually be a true killer among us,” he said.
