Well, it’s surprising, to say the least. Despite executing the hit with precision and seemingly covering all his tracks, the alleged United “Healthcare” CEO killer, Luigi Mangione, made a misstep by being spotted at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Had he kept a low profile and avoided public spaces for a few more weeks, public attention might have moved on.
His capture was thanks to a sharp-eyed McDonald’s employee who recognized him and tipped off the police—something they likely wouldn’t have managed on their own. This incident serves as yet another example of the unlikely events that can unfold at a fast-food chain with its own controversial reputation. Mangione was initially taken into custody on a weapons charge, but he’s expected to face murder charges after being extradited to New York. News source: WUSA.
Luigi was apprehended in possession of a ghost gun, a fake ID, and what is being described as a manifesto. The document reportedly included a chilling excerpt: “These parasites had it coming. I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.”
The Altoona, PA police have now released his mug shot.
With a brooding and almost menacing expression (though undeniably striking), Luigi’s mug shot reveals a darker facet of his persona, a stark contrast to the cheerful Facebook photos shown below. Understandably, he wasn’t likely in the best of spirits, given his recent arrest for murder.
UPDATE: Luigi was just seen appearing for his arraignment moments ago:
