New evidence released in Luigi Mangione case. See the photos.
Prosecutors have released photos of some of the evidence authorities recovered from Luigi Mangione when he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The photos were released as prosecutors and the defense argue about what evidence should be admissible at trial. Mangione's attorneys are trying to get some of the evidence dismissed, including the contents of his backpack, where authorities found the gun allegedly used to kill Thompson, and a notebook.
"I can't really approach him"
Authorities also released audio of a 911 call from the McDonald's where he was found alerting police there was a suspicious person there.
The 911 caller identifies herself as the manager of the McDonald's.
"It's not really an emergency," she says. "I have a customer here that some other customers were suspicious of, that he looked like the CEO shooter in New York. So they're just really upset, and they're coming to me, and I'm like, I can't really approach him."
The manager then goes on to tell police he's still present at the restaurant, and describes what he's wearing, including a black jacket, a blue medical mask, and a tan beanie. She also describes his height and weight.
The manager can be heard saying that one of the people who works at the register was "frantic" when she saw him, and felt uncomfortable.
Evidence photos released
Here's a look at some of the photos authorities released Thursday.
Authorities released a closer look at his fake ID as "Mark Rosario." We've blurred the image a bit due to an address written there.
