"They said Mangione was not read his rights before he was questioned by law enforcement officers, who arrested him after Brian Thompson was fatally shot as he arrived at a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. They added that officers did not obtain a warrant before searching Mangione's backpack. Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges in the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson on Dec. 4 as he arrived at a Manhattan hotel for his company's annual investor conference."
"The killing set off a multi-state search after the suspected shooter slipped away from the scene and rode a bike to Central Park, before taking a taxi to a bus depot that offers service to several nearby states. Five days later, a tip from a McDonald's about 233 miles (375 kilometers) away in Altoona, Pennsylvania, led police to arrest Mangione. He has been held without bail since then."
Luigi Mangione faces federal and state criminal charges in the December fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Defense lawyers asked a federal judge to dismiss some charges, including the sole count that could carry the death penalty, and to exclude his statements and the backpack where a gun and ammunition were found. Lawyers argue Mangione was not read his Miranda rights before questioning and that officers searched the backpack without a warrant. The killing triggered a multi-state manhunt; a tip from a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, led to Mangione's arrest five days later. Mangione has pleaded not guilty and remains held without bail.
