Luigi Mangione, accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, could face additional charges according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The New York Police Department announced that a ghost gun allegedly found in Mangione's possession matched three shell casings recovered at the crime scene. Fingerprints taken from Mangione also match those on a water bottle found near the shooting scene. Authorities are investigating 'Wanted' posters featuring corporate executives, including Brian Thompson, that have been posted around Manhattan with warnings such as 'Brian Thompson was denied his claim to life. Who will be denied next?' Police are concerned about potential copycat crimes, and the killing has sparked public anger toward health insurers.
