Luigi Mangione appears to have offered an apology for appearing “suspicious” just before his arrest in Pennsylvania, where he is accused of the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office made public a video after the sixth day of hearings aimed at deciding whether to exclude certain evidence from Mangione’s trial. Mangione’s defense team had attempted to persuade Judge Gregory Carro to prevent the video’s release, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on December 9, 2024. Reports indicate that an employee at the restaurant recognized Mangione and informed a colleague, who subsequently contacted the police.

Prior to Mangione’s arrest, prosecutors released footage from a police body camera, showing an officer mentioning that they had received a call about Mangione looking “suspicious.”

The video includes Mangione conversing with a police officer in Altoona, Pennsylvania, as released by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

“I’m sorry,” Mangione told the police officer before looking down at his phone. Mangione identified himself as “Mark Rosario” during the interaction and handed over an ID.

According to the officer, the person who reported Mangione to authorities did so because they “thought [he] looked like someone.”

Earlier in the week, prosecutors released several pictures depicting Mangione’s possessions, such as his ID, credit and debit cards, an escape route from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati and more.

Last week, prosecutors released the 911 call which led to Mangione’s arrest at the Pennsylvania McDonald’s. 

“I’m a manager at Plank Road McDonald’s out here on the boulevard,” a McDonald’s manager told the 911 dispatcher. “And I have a customer here, that some other customers were suspicious of, that he looks like the CEO shooter from New York.”

Altoona Police Officer Stephen Fox testified that he was confident Mangione was the suspect in Thompson’s death when the alleged assassin smiled at him.

Mangione faces numerous state and federal charges in relation to the alleged murder.
