Bodycam Footage Shows Arrest In 2024 Killing Of UnitedHealth CEO

Written by TNNBot on

Body camera footage released Friday shows officers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, arresting Luigi Mangione at a McDonald's in December 2024 as investigators sought a weapon tied to the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.[1]

The video shows officers questioning Mangione about a fake ID, watching him acknowledge his real name, and searching a backpack before a later strip search at the police station.[1] Investigators recovered a firearm from the backpack that prosecutors say matches the weapon used in the 2024 Midtown Manhattan shooting of Thompson.[1] Footage from the arrest was played at a December 2025 suppression hearing, and a state judge ruled most evidence taken from the backpack admissible at trial.[1]

In December 2024, Altoona officers arrested Mangione at a McDonald's after a five-day manhunt.[1] Mangione later pleaded guilty to federal counts of interstate stalking resulting in death and stalking through use of interstate facilities resulting in death.[1] He is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in December 2026, and a Pennsylvania second-degree murder case remains pending.[1]
