Luigi Mangione: What we know about CEO shooting 'person of interest'

Police have named a "strong person of interest" in the slaying of the chief executive of United Healthcare in New York City following a nearly week-long manhunt.

Police said on Monday that they arrested Luigi Mangione, 26, on firearms charges after he was recognised by an employee at a McDonald's restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, according to New York officials.

He was carrying a weapon and "multiple fraudulent IDs", including a New Jersey ID that matched the identity the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting.

He also had a three-page handwritten manifesto that included grievances with the US healthcare system, a document that spoke to the suspect's "motivation and mindset", officials said.

Mr Mangione was born and raised in Maryland and has ties to San Francisco, California, according to New York Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
