Shell casings in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing matched to gun found on suspect: NYPD
The shell casings found at the scene of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s shooting matched the gun found on the suspect in custody, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Wednesday.
Tisch also said that the crime lab results matched the fingerprints of suspect Luigi Mangione to a water bottle and a Kind bar found near the scene of the killing.
Thompson was gunned down last week outside New York Hilton Midtown, where he was set to address an annual investor meeting.
Police recovered from the scene three discharged shell casings, which had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” written on them – words often associated with negative sentiments toward the health insurance industry.
Mangione, 26, was arrested Monday after he was recognized at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., a couple of hours outside of Pittsburgh. He was charged in connection with Thompson’s death and faces multiple counts in New York and Pennsylvania.
A ghost gun, silencer and writings expressing ill will toward corporate America were found on Mangione, linking him to the crime, police said.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told CBS New York Tuesday night that law enforcement officials were analyzing a fingerprint that was found on the cellphone near the crime scene last week, but Kenny did not say whether the prints matched Mangione’s.
“We have DNA. We have one … we have fingerprints that’s also being processed,” Kenny told CBS. “There were no fingerprints on the bullets at this time, but we did have one fingerprint on the cellphone that was recovered.”
