Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City following a five-day manhunt.

Mangione was found with fake identification, a weapon like the one seen being used in a video of Thompson's murder, along with a manifesto criticizing the healthcare industry, according to The New York Times.

In addition to the murder charge, he was also charged on counts of forgery and illegal weapons possession.
