Luigi Mangione, the prime suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was apprehended at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Altoona Police Officer Tyler Frye, recognized Mangione, leading to his swift arrest. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro commended Officer Frye for his quick thinking and calm demeanor, highlighting the importance of strong community-police relationships.

Officer Frye and his partner instantly identified Mangione, who had garnered national attention following the CEO's murder. Mangione reportedly trembled as officers approached him. He was focused on a silver laptop and wearing a blue medical mask, which officers asked him to remove, confirming his identity through media images.

Mangione presented a false ID under the name Mark Rosario, a deception he admitted to when questioned. A search of his backpack revealed a 3D-printed pistol with a loaded magazine, a silencer, and documents indicating animosity towards corporate America. The NYPD Chief of Detectives revealed the discovery of a three-page document expressing Mangione's negative sentiments toward corporations.

Mangione faces charges in Pennsylvania including forgery, carrying an unlicensed firearm, tampering with identification, possession of criminal instruments, and providing false identification to law enforcement. When asked about legal representation, he deferred the decision to a later date. The arrest marks a significant development in the investigation of Brian Thompson's murder.
