Bodycam Arrest Video, Alleged 'Manifesto' Take Center Stage in Mangione Hearing

Bodycam footage reveals Mangione gave a false name and ID during his arrest after McDonald's customers alerted police, with evidence key to his Manhattan murder trial.

  • On December 9, 2024, Altoona police bodycams captured Joseph Detwiler approaching Luigi Mangione at a McDonald's; footage was viewed in Manhattan court last week and released Wednesday.
  • Customers at the McDonald's recognised Luigi Mangione by his distinctive bushy eyebrows and alerted police, as he was wanted in New York City for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson five days earlier.
  • The Frye bodycam captures Mangione quickly comply then hand over a New Jersey ID presented by Mangione bearing a false name, while police radio communications relay the ID details during questioning about recent travel and his lie.
  • The defence argues the seizures required a warrant as Altoona Police recovered an alleged murder weapon, silencer, loaded magazine and manifesto, while the Manhattan District Attorney's Office asserts the search was lawful.
  • Wednesday was the one-year anniversary of Mangione's arrest as bodycam footage entered public record after courtroom review, highlighting the case's prominence involving UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
