Newly unsealed footage shows Mangione’s arrest and search in Pennsylvania
Newly released body-camera footage shows Luigi Mangione being questioned at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, arrested and searched in connection with the killing of UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson. A judge unsealed the recordings after a media petition; they provide a fuller account of the arrest and the evidence police say they found.
The footage is from 9 December 2024, five days after Thompson was shot dead in Manhattan. Officers challenged Mangione over a false identity card, then found a handgun, silencer, ammunition, journal and handwritten notes in his belongings. Mangione pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges in August and faces sentencing in December; separate New York state murder proceedings have been postponed while his lawyers seek to have the case dismissed.
