Luigi Mangione, suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's killing, charged with murder in NYC

NEW YORK -- Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel, is now charged with murder, according to court documents.

The New York City Police Department and Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday the 26-year-old was taken into custody earlier in the day on forgery and illegal gun charges in Pennsylvania. At the time, he was still considered a person of interest in the case. 

"He matches the description of the identification we've been looking for. He's also in possession of several items that we believe will connect him to this incident," Adams said Monday. "How did we do it? Good old fashioned police work."
