On Tuesday, New York prosecutors provided a comprehensive timeline detailing the actions of Luigi Mangione, the man charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, prior to the shooting, as well as how he managed to evade capture for several days.

Authorities presented this new information following Mangione’s indictment on 11 charges, which include first-degree murder and committing murder as an act of terrorism. Prosecutors stated that these details illustrate how investigators connected Mangione to what they described as the “brazen” assassination that took place in Midtown Manhattan on December 4.

“This was a terrifyingly premeditated and targeted murder intended to instill fear and draw attention,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg at a news conference on Tuesday. “The goal was to spread terror.”

Here’s what has been revealed about the moments leading up to the attack:

Covert arrival in New York City

Mangione, a 26-year-old from Maryland with his last known residence in Hawaii, arrived in New York City ten days before the murder of Thompson, using a counterfeit identification card and a mask to prevent recognition, according to prosecutors.

The privileged member of a prosperous Baltimore family arrived in the city on November 24, traveling by bus to Port Authority, a busy Midtown bus station serving around 260,000 passengers daily. Following this, Mangione checked into the HI New York City Hostel on the Upper West Side, where he registered using a fake New Jersey identification under the alias Mark Rosario.

The ID used to check into the hostel was later presented by him to police during an incident at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, according to court documents. Initially, Mangione was apprehended in Altoona for attempting to use the fake ID, alongside additional charges.

Mangione reportedly extended his stay at the hostel multiple times, as investigated.

Before dawn on the day of the murder

Mangione exited the hostel well before dawn on December 4, the day the murder occurred, as stated by prosecutors. During the news conference, authorities detailed the sequence of events leading to the attack:

• 5:34 a.m. ET: Mangione departed the Upper West Side hostel near 103rd Street and rode an e-bike approximately 3 miles south to Midtown.
• 5:52 a.m. to 6:45 a.m. ET: Mangione remained outside the Hilton hotel on 54th Street in Midtown.
• 6:15 a.m. ET: He bought a water bottle and granola bars from a nearby Starbucks. Investigators later connected him to the crime scene through fingerprints found on the bottle and wrapper of the snacks.
• 6:38 a.m. and 6:44 a.m. ET: Mangione stood on the north side of 54th Street, opposite the hotel, fully masked with his hood up.
• 6:45 a.m. ET: When Thompson arrived, Mangione crossed the street and shot him in the back and leg using a 3D-printed 9mm ghost gun fitted with a silencer. He quickly fled north on an e-bike and later took a cab to 178th Street at the northern tip of Manhattan. He then escaped the state.
• 7:12 a.m. ET: Thompson was transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Counterfeit New Jersey ID

Mangione’s time on the run concluded in an unceremonious manner at a McDonald’s in Altoona on December 9.

A patron noticed him, recognizing he was wearing a mask, and alerted the staff, who subsequently contacted 911, according to state police.

Upon arrival at the McDonald’s, the Altoona police inquired whether Mangione had been in New York recently. In response, he became uncharacteristically silent and began trembling, as detailed in the police complaint.

Authorities recovered a 3D-printed 9mm handgun, two ammunition magazines, bullets, and a homemade silencer from Mangione’s backpack during his arrest, along with the counterfeit New Jersey ID he had used at the hostel, according to prosecutors.
