"Person of Interest" In Health Care CEO Assassination Caught in Altoona, PA, Identified as Luigi Mangione, "Former Ivy League Student"
NYT: He Carried a Manifesto Decrying Health Care Corporations' Greed

Update: Luigi Mangione, a "former Ivy League student."

The person of interest identified in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist former Ivy League student -- who liked online quotes from "Unabomber'' Ted Kaczynski raging against the country's medical community.

Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Md., was taken into custody Monday morning at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa., after an intense manhunt following the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said.

He has not been charged.

The former prep-school valedictorian was caught with a manifesto that appeared to list grievances with the healthcare industry including taking on their enormous profits and alleged shady motives, sources said.

Update: Per Zero Hedge, he is now being called a "strong person of interest."

I mean, yes, it does seem nearly 100% likely it is this Ivy league leftwing radical terrorist.

Interesting detail: He was armed with a veterinary pistol, used for euthanizing animals, which looks like the gun he used.

Weird detail: He was caught using a fake ID at a McDonald's. Why would someone have to use an ID at McDonald's?

Not sure if this is our killer.

Actually, now that I re-read the story, I think someone called a tip on the guy, recognizing him from his photo. When the police showed up, he showed a fake ID and gave a false name.

The cops, presumably, used the fake ID as the reason to arrest him while they try to figure out if he's Taylor Lorenz's favorite boy band murderer.

A person of interest was nabbed Monday in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson -- busted possibly trying to use a fake ID in a McDonald's, law enforcement sources said.

Per Trusted Member of the Media LA Sue, the fake ID was spotted because the name on it was "McLovin."

The man -- who sources said is being eyed for the coldblooded, targeted execution in front of a Manhattan hotel last week -- allegedly had a manifesto on him when he was taken into custody by cops in Altoona, Pa.

He also had a gun, silencer, four fake IDs and other items "consistent" with what authorities were looking for in the case, sources said.

Law enforcement was still trying to figure out the man's real identity, sources said.

He was nabbed on a tip called in to local cops, who apprehended him, sources said.

The NYPD was on its way to Altoona late Monday morning, sources said.

Added by Black Orchid, not sure of the source but Black Orchid is not a Fake News Macedonian Content Farmer but instead a Trusted Member of the Media.

"The handwritten manifesto found on the person of the man detained in Altoona criticized health care companies for putting profits above care, according to a senior law enforcement official."

The claim comes from the New York Times, which is, unfortunately, a Fake News Macedonian Content Farmer.
