Fingerprints gleaned from the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder allegedly match those taken from Luigi Mangione, law enforcement officials say.
Investigators have shown a positive forensic match between the shooting suspect, whose fingerprints were taken upon his arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Monday, and those taken from the crime scene in Midtown Manhattan a week ago, officials told CNN on Wednesday.
It comes after Mangiano’s retained lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told reporters that he hasn’t “seen any evidence that he’s the shooter.” His client faced an extradition hearing Tuesday in Pennsylvania after New York prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder in connection with last week’s brazen killing in Midtown Manhattan.
“It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!,” Mangione yelled as he was escorted in handcuffs into the Blair County Courthouse. Mangione was denied bail and will remain in a Pennsylvania jail while he fights extradition.
Authorities are also investigating Mangiano’s notebook that laid out his plot to “wack” Thompson at his “parasitic bean-counter convention”, according to The New York Times.
