UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect detained at Pennsylvania McDonald's

A suspect was nabbed in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's Wednesday assassination at an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald's.

A suspect in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was taken into custody at a Pennsylvania McDonalds and detained for questioning on Monday, a source with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News Digital.

The source added that the person had a similar gun and silencer to the ones used in the Wednesday shooting. He also carried four fake IDs and a manifesto, the New York Post reported.

A senior law enforcement official told the New York Times that the document criticized health care companies for putting profits above care.

The man was working on a laptop in the Altoona fast food location - a police source told Fox News Digital surveillance footage caught the suspect using a laptop in a New York McDonald's location before the Wednesday shooting, and that "the eyebrows match[ed]."

An employee allegedly notified police after recognizing the man's face from wanted posters, the police source said.
