A “strong person of interest” in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is in custody, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday.

Luigi Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Penn., after he was spotted at a McDonald’s by someone who believed he resembled the gunman, officials said at a news conference.

Thompson, 50, was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel early on Wednesday morning by a masked man who appeared to wait for his arrival before shooting the executive from behind.

Police have not publicly identified a motive, but have said Thompson appeared to be deliberately targeted.
