Judge allows call from manager of Pennsylvania McDonald’s to be made public after press urged its release
An audio recording of a 911 call that led to Luigi Mangione’s arrest has been made public after the press advocated for its release.
The audio recording was played in Manhattan state court this week during a proceeding about evidence gathered during Mangione’s arrest over the murder of senior United HealthCare executive Brian Thompson a year ago. Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania in December last year after the restaurant’s manager called 911.
“I have a customer here that some other customers were suspicious of, that he looks like the CEO shooter from New York,” the manager could be heard saying in audio of the call that was played in court on Monday.“They’re just really upset and they’re like coming to me, and I was like, ‘Well, I can’t approach him.’”
She told the 911 operator that the man who drew suspicion was wearing a black jacket, medical mask, and a khaki-colored beanie.
