The 26-year-old man arrested as a person of interest in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO appears to have previously worked at Stanford. Altoona police officers took Mangione into custody on an unrelated firearms charge, but he is considered a "strong person of interest" in the death of the insurance company's chief, New York Mayor Eric Adams said during the press conference.
Police found a firearm and suppressor consistent with the weapon used in the killing in Mangione's possession, along with a mask and clothes matching the wanted person's clothing. He also had multiple fraudulent IDs, including one from New Jersey that matched the one the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting, according to New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
NYPD officials confirmed Monday that Mangione had ties to San Francisco, but they did not elaborate on the connection. He appears to have worked in Palo Alto from at least May to December of 2019, during which time he advised high school students and residential counselors in Stanford's pre-college summer programs.
A LinkedIn profile that seems to belong to Mangione says he worked with students studying artificial intelligence and holds both bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in computer science. His last known address was in Honolulu, and he was born.
