A timeline of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and search for his killer
After days of searching, police have announced the arrest of a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel last week
NEW YORK (AP) — After days of searching through security footage, following up on a deluge of tips and even sending scuba divers to the bottom of a lake, police on Monday announced the arrest of a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel last week.
The hunt began in the hours after Brian Thompson was gunned down on the sidewalk early Wednesday morning, with the suspected shooter slipping away from the scene and riding a bike to Central Park, before taking a taxi to a bus depot that offers service to several nearby states.
On Monday morning, a tip from a McDonald’s around 233 miles (375 kilometers) away in Altoona, Pennsylvania, led police to arrest 26-year-old Luigi Nicholas Mangione, who authorities say was carrying a gun believed to be the one used to shoot Thompson.
Here's what we know so far about the shooting and subsequent search.
