Police body cam footage shows officers confronting Luigi Mangione in McDonald’s

Judge Gregory Carro will decide if evidence seized during Luigi Mangione's arrest, including a 3D-printed pistol, can be used in the trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

  • On Dec. 9, 2025, body-worn camera footage played in court shows Altoona officers approaching and detaining Luigi Mangione at McDonald's, five days after the killing.
  • Prosecutors say Mangione is accused of executing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel on Dec. 4, 2024, with shell casings bearing `Deny, Defend, Depose`.
  • Officers searching Mangione’s backpack found a 3D‑printed 9 mm pistol, a loaded magazine wrapped in wet underwear, and a Faraday bag with a phone, SIM cards, and a map of Pittsburgh.
  • Judge Gregory Carro will decide in January whether Mangione’s defense can exclude backpack items, a key win amid federal prosecution with possible death-penalty exposure.
  • Officer Fox testified he advised Mangione of his Miranda rights before searching, but defense highlighted Fox’s pacing and omission, while prosecutors argue the search was justified for safety.
