New York City prosecutors have made public the 911 call from Pennsylvania that resulted in the arrest of Luigi Mangione, who is accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The caller, a McDonald’s manager whose identity was withheld, described a suspicious individual dressed in a black hoodie with a low-hanging hat. The person was spotted dining at a corner table near the restroom, clutching a bag from CVS or Walgreens.

“I’m the manager at Plank Road McDonald’s here on the boulevard,” she informed the dispatcher. “We have a customer here who raised suspicions among other patrons because he resembles the CEO shooter from New York.”

Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League alumnus charged with the murder of the top executive of the nation’s largest healthcare firm on a Midtown sidewalk, appeared once more in a Manhattan court on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

After a five-minute conversation, the dispatcher instructed the manager to stay put and remain observant.

“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?”

The recording was played in court for the first time earlier this week as part of an evidence suppression hearing that stretched on for days. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office released it Thursday evening.

Mangione returns to court Friday for more of the hearing. His lawyers are asking the judge to suppress evidence taken from his backpack after his arrest as well as statements he made during the McDonald’s incident and to jail guards in the following days.

While they raised Fourth and Fifth Amendment concerns, prosecutors have dismissed their claims, arguing 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.

Officers are allowed to ask someone’s name without reading them a Miranda warning, legal experts say.

Other evidence prosecutors made public Thursday included photos of Mangione’s personal effects, thousands of dollars in cash and his MacBook laptop.
