Authorities have arrested Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspect in the deadly shooting of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel. New York City officials announced Mangione's capture in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday, concluding a five-day manhunt.

The suspect was spotted at a McDonald's by an astute employee who recognized him as the alleged shooter. Mangione appeared in Blair County courthouse, where he faced gun and forgery charges. Denied bail due to flight risk concerns, he awaits additional charges in New York.

Investigators found Mangione with a ghost gun, silencer, and clothing linked to the shooting. A handwritten document indicated his animosity toward corporate America, drawing connections to Thompson's murder, which has spotlighted ongoing health insurance grievances.
