Prosecutors in New York City have unveiled new photographic evidence detailing the items found on Luigi Mangione at the time of his arrest, which was linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The evidence, disclosed on Saturday night, includes an image of a USB drive that Mangione wore around his neck on a chain, a bus ticket to Pittsburgh, a handwritten list of items from Best Buy accompanied by a “to-do” list, and a pocketknife with zip ties.

Other photos depict the apparel Mangione had with him or wore, such as green and black jackets, a beanie, a scarf, black pants, black gloves, long underwear, sneakers, and a medical face mask.

Mangione was apprehended on December 9, 2024, after patrons and staff at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, contacted authorities about a suspicious individual matching the NYPD’s description of a “person of interest” in the murder of Thompson.

Prosecutors released a photo of a handwritten note they say police found in Luigi Mangione's possession at the time of his arrest that depicted a Best Buy list and "to-do" list.

Mangione appeared in court last week as his defense lawyers moved to suppress evidence taken from his backpack after his arrest, as well as statements he allegedly made during the McDonald’s incident and to jail guards in the following days.

The defense argued police improperly obtained statements in violation of Mangione’s Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, and that the warrantless search violated his Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches.

Prosecutors argue that police acted lawfully and appropriately, that the warrantless search of his bag after his arrest was routine and legal and that the only relevant non-Mirandized statement he made was to allegedly give officers a fake name when he showed them a phony ID.

During last week’s evidence suppression hearing, which stretched on for days, prosecutors played in court for the first time the recording of the 911 call that led to Mangione’s arrest. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office released it Thursday evening.

“I’m a manager at Plank Road McDonald’s out here on the boulevard,” she told the dispatcher. “And I have a customer here, that some other customers were suspicious of, that he looks like the CEO shooter from New York.”

At the end of the five-minute call, the dispatcher told the manager to sit tight and remain vigilant.

“I do have an officer on the way for ya,” the dispatcher said. “Just keep an eye on him. If he leaves, just give us a call back and let us know, OK?”
