Police have arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione in connection with the fatal shooting of a healthcare insurance boss in New York last week.
Authorities said he was detained at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania on Monday on firearms charges, calling him a "strong person of interest" in the killing.
Police said He was found with a firearm and a suppresser, as well as an IDs with his real name, and another that were fake.
They include a US passport and a fraudulent New Jersey ID that was used to check into the New York City hostel, where the suspect was spotted before the shooting.
Mangione's detainment marks the biggest breakthrough so far in the investigation of the shooting, described as a "brazen, targeted attack" as UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson walked outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan at 6:45 a.m. last Wednesday.
