Arrest in High-Profile Murder Case
The suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been apprehended, ending a five-day manhunt. Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate with a degree in computer science, was arrested in Pennsylvania after being recognized by a McDonald's customer. Authorities found him in possession of a ghost gun and a silencer, matching the weapon used in the homicide.
