On Monday, police arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione and charged him in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione's five-day run from authorities ended after he was spotted eating at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 300 miles from Manhattan, where Thompson was gunned down on the morning of December 4. Authorities say they found Mangione carrying fake IDs and a 3D-printed "ghost gun," the model of which is known as the FMDA, or "Free Men Don't Ask."

Questions about Mangione's alleged motives and background have swirled in the media since his arrest Monday. As prosecutors worked to bring him to New York to face charges, new details emerged about his life and his capture. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family was charged with murder hours after his arrest.
