On-screen text

Dec. 9, 2024 Manhattan DA Newly released police bodycam shows more of Luigi Mangione's arrest Can I ask why there's so many cops here? Trying to figure it out. That's all. You're under official police investigation right now. Gave a false name to us. Again, you're gonna be arrested for false ID. Is that your name, Mark Rosio — Rosaro? No, sir. And what's your real name? Luigi. Why did you lie about your name? I clearly shouldn't have. But why did you? I couldn't hear what you said. Just do me a favor, go and stand up, I'm going to pat you down. Anything in that bag we need to know about?

Original caption

Newly unsealed police body camera footage shows a calm Luigi Mangione interacting with officers who approached him inside a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on December 9, 2024, just days after the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Officers initially approached Mangione under the guise of responding to concerns that he had been at the restaurant too long, after a caller reported seeing someone who resembled the shooting suspect. Mangione then handed officers a fake ID before he was ultimately taken into custody. The hours of footage were previously shown in court but had not been released publicly.
