UnitedHealthcare CEO murder: Police 'question' man picked up in PA McDonald’s with fake ID’s, suppressor
Authorities are “questioning a man in the nationwide manhunt for the killer” of UnitedHealthcare Brian Thompson, CNN reports.
Thompson was shot dead last Wednesday in Midtown Manhattan in what NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch called a “brazen targeted attack.”
Reporter Brynn Gingras on Monday reported the person of interest was picked up at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA and “is in police custody right now undergoing that questioning by law enforcement officials.”
“Sources are telling us that, working off of a tip, police stopped someone who was traveling by bus,” Gingras said. “And they were able to recover a suppressor, a number of fake ids — according to one official — and also that same person is believed to also have fit the same description as all of those pictures that have been dispersed.”
“Police already have a lot of evidence in their hands in addition to all this video and all these pictures,” Gingras added. “They have a partial fingerprint and they also have some DNA evidence that they were able to get off of some of the things that were left behind when that suspect made a getaway last Wednesday.”
