Tip to San Fran police helped FBI identify UnitedHealth CEO suspect, Luigi Mangione: source
FIRST ON FOX: A tip that was provided by the public to the San Francisco Police Department helped FBI investigators identify the UnitedHealth CEO suspected killer, Luigi Mangione.
According to an FBI NYC source, a tip was received from the San Francisco Police Department on the possible identity of Mangione following the Dec. 4 shooting in Midtown Manhattan.
The particular tip assisted FBI NYC during their investigation and eventual arrest of the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate.
“FBI New York conducted routine investigative activity and referred this and other leads to the New York City Police Department as part of our assistance to them in their investigation,” sources said. “Extensive sharing of the photos by law enforcement led to the identification by a citizen and subsequent arrest by the Altoona Police Department.”

The additional information sheds more light on investigators’ path to identifying Mangione.
Fox News previously confirmed that a San Francisco police investigator recognized Mangione from a wanted bulletin poster made by police and communicated that to the FBI while the suspect was still at large.

The poster, obtained by Fox News, shows a picture of a smiling Mangione and states that the missing person report for him was filed on Nov. 18, about two weeks before he allegedly shot and killed Thompson execution-style outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel. The poster goes out to agencies for a missing person.

The police source tells Fox News that Mangione’s mother phoned in to file the missing person report stating she last spoke with her son around July 1 and that he worked at TrueCar, an online retailing service for car buyers and auto dealerships.
The San Francisco location given for a work address was 124 Montgomery, which is permanently closed and there is no phone number.
Mangione’s mother said she didn’t know any other place her son would frequent in San Francisco, per the source.

Authorities arrested Mangione in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday, at which point he allegedly presented local police with a fake ID and appeared to start shaking when they asked if he had been in New York recently.
In New York, Mangione faces one count of murder, two counts of second-degree criminal weapons possession, one count of second-degree possession of a forged document and one count of third-degree criminal weapons possession.
In Pennsylvania, he faces one count of forgery, one count of carrying a firearm without a license, one count of tampering with records or identification, one count of possession of instruments of a crime and one count of presenting false ID to law enforcement, according to court documents.

3 Trade Scenarios for the Utah Jazz to Find a New Center
The Utah Jazz are in the market to add a new center to their roster following their decision to ship out Walker Kessler to the Los Angeles Lakers.
They’ve already made a few moves to bolster their five spot in the first few days of free agency. Utah signed former Lakers big man Jaxson Hayes to a two-year deal, and re-signed a veteran of their own in Jusuf Nurkic that gives them at least some depth to lean on. But their work still might not be done trying to replace their defensive anchor in the middle.
Perhaps they could bring in another name off of free agency––or just maybe, they could look towards the trade market to address their hole at center, where there also might be a few intriguing veterans to target and fill their biggest need at the moment.
With that in mind, let’s look into three potential trade scenarios that the Jazz could consider to do just that:
Utah Provides Orlando With Bench Scoring
A simple one-for-one swap of guys on expiring deals; this could be an easy way for the Jazz to add another depth big man in the form of Bitadze, while sending Sensabaugh to a team that desperately needs another layer of shooting and scoring upside.
Bitadze has been a reliable rotational big since arriving in Orlando in 2023, posting an average of 6.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks a night in around 17 minutes a night. It’s easy to imagine him filling into a similar, defensive-focused role within Utah’s second unit.
Considering the Magic now have Wendell Carter Jr., newly-signed Nikola Vucevic, and Bitadze on top of it, it feels like one of the existing pieces from this frontcourt could be on the move. It sets up a perfect opportunity for the Jazz to strike and get ahead of Sensabaugh’s extension situation.
Utah Adds a New Starting Center Via Dallas
The most appealing center who could be on the block within this list: Daniel Gafford has been someone already placed into various trade rumors during the past few weeks of this offseason. That’s great news for the Jazz, who make perfect sense as a suitor to host him as a starting center for next season.
Gafford’s most recent time in Dallas has been the best stretch of his career in terms of statistics: he’s logged averages of 11.0 points and 6.9 rebounds a night while shooting an impressive 70% from the field. He’s not someone to expand his game much further than inside the arc, but as a lob threat and interior presence, there’s a lot to work with.
Utah would have to give up a bit of a bigger package in this one compared to what someone like Bitadze might command from Orlando. But Gafford’s locked in under contract for multiple years, and a more capable threat on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. So he’s worth the investment.
Utah Lands More Future Assets From Denver
A deal like this certainly wouldn’t be groundbreaking by any means. Someone of Zeke Nnaji’s caliber might even slot below Jaxson Hayes on the depth chart, and the returning draft picks for Utah tell you the type of asset he is on the trade market.
But the Nuggets are in a position to prioritize adding defense, shedding big men from their roster, and lessening their cap burden. This deal does just that, and only requires them to relinquish their two seconds received in their draft trade down from last month’s draft to do so.
Maybe the Jazz can unlock something from Nnaji’s game this coming season as a reserve big man––considering he’s averaged less than four points per game in the last three years––and if not, they get compensated with future draft picks to add him to their roster.

Indie Films Opening July 3: ‘Young Washington’ Marches Into Theaters
July 4 weekend is a quiet one for new indie releases, leaving the field to Angel Studios’ PG-13 wide release Young Washington on 2,700 screens.
From Angel and Wonder Project, the film, timed to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S., stars British actor William Franklyn-Miller as the young man who would go on to become the nation’s first president.
Directed by Jon Erwin (I Can Only Imagine, Jesus Revolution), with Mary-Louise Parker as George’s mother, Ben Kingsley as Virginia Gov. Robert Dinwiddie, and Kelsey Grammer as wealthy nobleman Lord Fairfax. See Deadline review.
Synopsis: “Before he was the Father of a Nation, he was a soldier fighting to survive. A single misstep thrusts young George Washington into the center of a global conflict, testing his honor, loyalty, and courage. As alliances crumble and the frontier erupts into war, he must confront not only his enemies but the man he’s becoming.”
The action is set in the 1750s with Washington as a young man eager to fight, initially as a British officer in a period of complex loyalties. He enlists at 23 and leads a disastrous campaign against the French in Ohio but fights brilliantly and his career takes off.
Elsewhere this frame, Music Box Films is out with a 4K restoration of Ross McElwee’s Sherman’s March July 3-9 at Film Forum. It will lead into Venice award-winning Remake, McElwee’s new documentary, which premieres at the NYC art house July 10.
Sherman’s March, which won the Grand Jury prize at the 1986 Sundance Film Festival, was ranked as one of the highest-grossing documentary films of all time until the mid-1990s. In it, McElwee sets out to make a movie about Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman’s March to the Sea towards the end of the American Civil War, but keeps getting sidetracked by his own love life. He’ll appear in-person for post-screening Q&As on July 8-9.
Kino Lorber opens Sasha Waters’ Mary Oliver: Saved By the Beauty of the World, on the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, at the IFC Center in New York today, expanding to select theaters nationwide in the coming weeks. The documentary includes new recitations of her work by fans as varied as Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi and Oprah Winfrey and Helena Bonham Carter alongside stories from longtime friends like John Waters.
World premiered in March at the True/False festival in Columbia, MO, screened at DOC NYC Spring Selects, the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival and the Miami Film Festival. Waters gained access to Oliver’s personal archives to make the film.
Citizen Kane is also back via Fathom Entertainment at about 900 theaters on July 5 and July 8. It’s for the 85th anniversary of the 1941 classic directed by and starring Orson Welles as publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane. The rerelease includes exclusive insight from Leonard Maltin.
