First on CNN: Newly unsealed footage shows Luigi Mangione’s arrest

CNN has obtained newly unsealed police body camera footage showing the arrest of Luigi Mangione inside a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, days after he fatally shot United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The hours of footage capture officers questioning Mangione at the fast-food restaurant on the morning of December 9, 2024, before he is handcuffed, searched and transported to the police station. The videos show police conducting more thorough searches of Mangione and his belongings at the station, including the moment an officer finds a gun – now known to be the murder weapon – inside his backpack.

This is the first time the videos have been seen outside the courtroom. Some of the footage was played during a dayslong suppression hearing last December, when the defense argued evidence recovered during the arrest should be suppressed because Mangione’s backpack was improperly searched.

New York State Judge Gregory Carro ultimately ruled most of the evidence would be allowed at trial and placed the videos under seal. The judge authorized their release after CNN petitioned for their unsealing following Mangione’s guilty plea to federal charges in August, in which he admitted to fatally shooting Thompson, 50, on a Manhattan sidewalk.

Luigi Mangione was arrested one year ago today. Inside how it went down

The unsealed videos, taken from body cameras worn by of eight Altoona police officers, show different angles of how the day unfolded as Mangione was approached and questioned by law enforcement, who quickly came to believe he was the suspect tied to the CEO’s killing.

The footage shows Mangione first provided police with a fake ID bearing the name “Mark Rosario” – the same name prosecutors say the shooting suspect used to check into a New York City hostel prior to Thompson’s killing – before later telling law enforcement his real name.

The officers handcuffed Mangione in the fast-food restaurant and searched his pockets and his belongings, including his black backpack, in which they found a gun magazine wrapped in underwear, the videos show.

Mangione was then transported to the police station, where the videos show both he and his bag were further searched. The footage captures the moments police recovered key evidence from the backpack, including a firearm and a notebook with handwritten entries that prosecutors have described as his “manifesto.”

Mangione’s defense attorneys have asked Judge Carro to dismiss the state murder case against him following his guilty plea in federal court late this summer, arguing he would be unlawfully prosecuted under double jeopardy grounds if it proceeds.

The judge has yet to rule on the motion; the parties are due back in state court in December.

CNN 获得了新近解封的警方执法记录仪视频，显示 Luigi Mangione 在宾夕法尼亚州 Altoona 的一家麦当劳餐厅内被捕，此前几天他枪杀了 United Healthcare 首席执行官 Brian Thompson。

这段长达数小时的录像记录了2024年12月9日上午，警察在一家快餐店对曼吉奥内进行盘问的过程。随后，他被戴上手铐、搜身并被带回警局。录像显示，在警局，警察对曼吉奥内及其随身物品进行了更彻底的搜查，其中包括一名警员在他的背包里发现一把枪——现在已知这把枪是作案凶器。

这是这些视频首次在法庭外公开。部分视频曾在去年12月举行的为期数天的证据排除听证会上播放，当时辩方辩称，由于对曼吉奥内的背包搜查不当，逮捕过程中获得的证据应予排除。

纽约州法官格雷戈里·卡罗最终裁定，大部分证据将在审判中被采纳，并将视频封存。此前，CNN在曼吉奥内8月对联邦指控认罪后申请解封这些视频，法官随后批准了公开申请。曼吉奥内承认在曼哈顿人行道上枪杀了50岁的汤普森。

路易吉·曼吉奥内被捕一周年了。事件始末，详情如下。

解封的视频来自八名阿尔图纳警察佩戴的执法记录仪，从不同角度展现了当天曼吉奥内被执法人员接近和讯问的过程，执法人员很快就认定他是与首席执行官遇害案有关的嫌疑人。

录像显示，曼吉奥内先是向警方提供了一张假身份证，上面写着“马克·罗萨里奥”——检察官称，枪击案嫌疑人在汤普森被杀之前，曾用这个名字入住纽约市的一家旅馆——之后才告诉执法部门他的真实姓名。

视频显示，警员在快餐店给曼吉奥内戴上手铐，搜查了他的口袋和随身物品，包括他的黑色背包，并在背包里发现了一个用内裤包裹的弹匣。

随后，曼吉奥内被带到警察局，视频显示，他和他的背包都遭到了进一步搜查。录像记录了警方从背包中找到关键证据的瞬间，其中包括一支枪和一个手写笔记本，检察官称笔记本上的内容是他的“宣言”。

曼吉奥内的辩护律师请求卡罗法官驳回州政府对他提起的谋杀指控，此前他已于今年夏末在联邦法院认罪。辩护律师辩称，如果继续审理此案，他将因双重危险原则而受到非法起诉。

法官尚未就该动议作出裁决；双方将于12月再次出庭州法院。
