A 26-year-old man has been charged with murder over last week’s fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. Luigi Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald’s in the town of Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles (450km) west of New York City on Monday after a customer at the fast-food outlet recognised him. An Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland family, he was found in possession of a 3D-printed gun and a handwritten document that indicated “motivation and mindset”, according to police. Mr Mangione then appeared in a Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on five initial counts and was denied bail. Just hours later, New York investigators charged Mr Mangione with murder and four other counts including firearms charges.
