The 26-year-old man who killed the CEO of the insurance company in New York is arrested

A 26-year-old man has been charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.

Luigi Mangione was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles (450 km) west of New York City on Monday after a customer recognized him.

An Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland family, he was found with a gun and a handwritten document indicating "motivation and mindset," according to police.

Mangione then appeared in a Pennsylvania court to stand trial on five original charges and was denied bail.

Just hours later, New York investigators charged Mangione with murder and four other charges, including the firearms charge.

Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in the back last Wednesday morning outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, where UnitedHealthcare, the health insurance giant he ran, was holding an investor meeting.

Police say he was the target of a premeditated murder./ CNA
