Luigi Nicholas Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Monday morning after witnesses spotted him and thought he matched the suspect on a wanted poster. Police responded to the location for reports of a person matching the description of the man wanted for questioning in Thompson’s murder, but Altoona police said they initially took him into custody on unrelated charges.

High-level law enforcement sources told Fox News and Fox News Digital that he had a “ghost gun” similar to the suspected murder weapon, a suppressor and a fake ID in his possession when taken into custody. The Associated Press also reported he had writings critical of the healthcare industry.

Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing Brian Thompson, has been described as a tech genius.

He previously shared a quote by "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski:

"Imagine a society that (makes) them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness.”
