🚨🇺🇸 HOW POLICE ARE LINKING EVIDENCE TO THE PERSON OF INTEREST Luigi Mangione was picked up at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA, with a gun and suppressor—because clearly, grabbing a Big Mac while carrying a weapon screams “low profile.” The NYPD identified the weapon as a “ghost gun,” which can’t be traced since it has no serial numbers. Ballistics tests will determine if it matches shell casings from the Dec. 4 Manhattan crime scene. They’re also testing DNA from a burner phone, water bottle, and an energy bar wrapper found nearby. No matches yet, but they’re gearing up to swab him—and he doesn’t have a say in it. Sources: CNN

🚨🇺🇸 WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE UHC CEO MURDER Luigi Mangione, 26, isn’t your average suspect. According to his LinkedIn, he’s a data engineer at TrueCar, Inc., boasts two Ivy League degrees from UPenn, and calls Honolulu, Hawaii, home. Looks like he traded spreadsheets for suspicion in one of the year’s most shocking cases. Police arrested Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was carrying multiple fake IDs, including one under the name “Marc Rosario.” Pro tip: If you’re on the run, maybe skip the Happy Meal. Investigators think Mangione traveled by bus from Philadelphia—because even data engineers aren’t immune to high travel costs. Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in what police call a “premeditated, targeted attack” outside the New York Hilton Midtown. Adding to the drama, shell casings at the scene had cryptic messages: “deny,” “delay,” and “depose.” The shooter fled on foot, then on a bike into Central Park. A bold escape—if you ignore how traceable Central Park is. Sources: NBC News, LinkedIn
