It appears that the mystery surrounding the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is coming to an end. Nearly a week after the shooting, police have named a suspect in the case, and it seems like they have the person they are looking for.
According to several reports, Luigi Mangione has been named a person of interest after being nabbed using the same fake ID he used at a hostel in New York on the day of the shooting.

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 against the health care industry, including its taking of enormous profits and its alleged shady motives, sources said.
