A 26-year-old Ivy League graduate has been hit with gun and other charges in Pennsylvania as authorities investigate his connection to the murder of a senior UnitedHealth Group executive ahead of an investor event in New York last week.
Local police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, apprehended Luigi Mangione, 26, of Maryland at a McDonald’s restaurant following a tip from an employee, New York police authorities said at a press conference on Monday.
Eric Adams, the New York mayor, described Mangione as a “strong person of interest” in possession of several items potentially connected to the crime. Jessica Tisch, New York Police Department commissioner, said NYPD detectives alongside officials from the district attorney’s office were heading to Pennsylvania to interview Mangione.
