It took about six days to find Luigi Mangione after the shooting incident. He shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024, in Midtown Manhattan and was apprehended on December 9, 2024, in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The capture came after a nationwide manhunt and was triggered when a McDonald's employee recognized him several days later. During the search, Mangione evaded police by traveling between New York and Pennsylvania using various modes of transport and kept a low profile, but was eventually located and arrested thanks to a combination of traditional investigative work and tips from the public.
