United States: Police say fingerprints found at the scene of the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, match those of Luigi Mangione, the main suspect. This is the first proof that connects Mangione directly to the place where Thompson was shot outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan, just over a week ago. Authorities are still investigating why the crime happened.

Mangione also intends to enter a not guilty plea to Pennsylvania charges linked to a gun and fake ID that were discovered police when arresting him in Altoona, according to attorney Thomas Dickey.

“I haven’t seen any evidence that they have the right guy,” said Dickey in an interview with CNN’s, Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.” What Dickey has not been able to review is, writings police said were in Mangione’s possession at the time he was arrested, the lawyer restated on Wednesday on ‘Good Morning America’.

In some of Mangioni’s writings, he described pain arising from back injury that he got in July 2023, New York Police Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
