ALTOONA, Pa. —Police have released a mugshot photo of the man who was wanted in connection to the murder of the CEO of major insurance group UnitedHealthcare.

Police say 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was arrested and is in custody following the targeted attack of Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel ahead of an investor conference, police said Monday.

A “strong person of interest” has been located in Pennsylvania, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a press briefing on Monday.

University of Pennsylvania graduate Mangione was brought in for questioning after an employee at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania recognized him from the wildly circulated images of the suspect in the shooting and called police, authorities said. Mangione was eating at the establishment, police said.

He matches the description of the suspect being sought in the shooting, Adams said.

UnitedHealth Group released a statement about the arrest which said, “Our hope Is that today’s apprehension brings some relief to Brian’s family, friends, colleagues, and the many others affected by this unspeakable tragedy. We thank law enforcement and will continue to work with them on this investigation. We ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy as they mourn,” CNN reported on air.
