Luigi Mangione’s Fingerprints Match Prints Found At Scene, Police Say

Update (1156ET):

Two law enforcement officials told CNN that fingerprints found at the scene of the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO outside a Midtown Manhattan Hilton hotel last week match those of 26-year-old Ivy League graduate Luigi Mangione.

CNN reports:

“This marks the first positive forensic match tying Mangione directly to the scene where Brian Thompson was gunned down just over a week ago outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel.”

This new development comes as suspected killer Mangione fights extradition to New York City. He is currently held at the State Correctional Institution—Huntingdon, Pennsylvania—until proper paperwork by NY is filed. 

Mangione’s extradition challenge has kicked off the process requiring a warrant issued by the New York governor’s office to allow him to be transported to the state, where he would then be arraigned at the criminal courthouse in lower Manhattan. 

Mangione’s lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told CNN earlier: “I haven’t seen any evidence that they have the right guy.” 

On Tuesday night, we published what appears to be Mangione’s manifesto…
