Police bodycam shows Mangione's arrest in Thompson CEO shooting
Police bodycam footage captured Mangione's arrest five days after United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot dead in Manhattan.
Newly released police bodycam footage shows officers arresting Luigi Mangione. Officers arrested him on December 9 at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.
The arrest came five days after Brian Thompson was shot. Thompson, 50, was a Minnesota executive.
He was walking to a Manhattan hotel for his company's investor conference when he was shot. In the footage, officers ask Mangione to lower his face mask.
One officer says immediately: 'That's 100 per cent him.' During a search, an officer finds a gun cartridge.
This confirms they had found their suspect. A Manhattan judge unsealed the recordings on Friday after CNN asked for them.
Mangione pleaded guilty in August to federal stalking charges. He faces life in prison when sentenced in December.
