San Francisco police investigator recognized Mangione from missing person poster: source
A San Francisco police investigator says he recognized Luigi Mangione – the man charged in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Mangione – from a wanted bulletin poster made by police and communicated that to the FBI while the suspect was still at large, a police source tells Fox News.
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 True Car.

The 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.
The San Francisco Chronicle, citing two sources familiar with the matter, reports that police recognized the then-wanted suspect as being Mangione four days before his high-profile arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He had been on the run for five days.
When Mangione was arrested Monday authorities said that he had not previously been on law enforcement’s radar. “This was not a name that was called into us,” New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told NBC on Tuesday.

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.”
Charged in Pennsylvania with forgery and carrying a firearm without a license, he has not waived his right to an extradition hearing to face murder charges in New York.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Friday that there are “indications” that Mangione may indeed waive his right to an extradition hearing, but that his office will be ready if he continues to contest extradition.
The 26-year-old was denied bail and will remain incarcerated at SCI Huntingdon until his attorney files a writ of habeas corpus, challenging whether he is being lawfully detained.
UNITEDHEALTH RESPONDS TO ARREST OF SUSPECT IN CEO KILLING

Police say he waited outside a hotel where UnitedHealthcare was holding its annual investor conference before sneaking up on Thompson and firing at him from close range. Video of the cold-blooded killing was captured on CCTV.
Mangione broke his silence with an outburst on Tuesday as he was escorted into a Pennsylvania courthouse, where he challenged his arrest.
“It’s completely out of touch, and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and its lived experience,” Mangione shouted, prompting his detail of about 10 officers to hurry him inside.
Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, Mangione appeared unfazed. He was seen whispering with his attorney, Thomas Dickey, glancing at reporters and mumbling to himself at the Blair County Court hearing.
The slaying of Thompson has gripped the nation as police believe he may have been motivated by ill will towards the health insurance industry.
Meanwhile, FOX Business has learned that Mangione was not a client of the health insurer UnitedHealthcare.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told WNBC-TV Thursday that the Ivy League graduates may have targeted the company because of its size and influence. He said a note was found in Mangione’s possession when he was detained in Pennsylvania.

“We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth-largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest health care organization in America,” Kenny told the news outlet. “So, that’s possibly why he targeted that company. He had prior knowledge that the conference was taking place on that date at that location.”
Mangione’s mother was not a member of UnitedHealthcare either. Kenny noted that Mangione sustained a major back injury in July 2023.
“It seems that he had an accident that caused him to go to the emergency room back in July of 2023, and that it was a life-changing injury,” said Kenny. “He posted X-rays of screws being inserted into his spine. So, the injury that he suffered was, was a life-changing, life-altering injury, and that’s what may have put him on this path.”
Kenny confirmed that Mangione’s family reported him missing to San Francisco authorities in November.

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality is reminding the public to check the harmful algal bloom map ahead of the holiday weekend.
HABs can discharge toxins that may be harmful to humans and animals.
If you suspect a HAB, stay out of the water, including your furry friends. Don’t allow dogs to drink from the water or lick their fur if you suspect they came in contact with affected water.
Officials say avoid swimming in areas where the water looks discolored and resembles spilled paint, pea soup or grass clippings.
A list of reported HABs in the past week was provided by the Montana DEQ:
- Lake Helena Causeway and Fishing Access Site, Lewis & Clark County (confirmed 6/25/2026)
- Canyon Ferry Reservoir at Duck Creek Campground, Broadwater County (confirmed 6/24/2026)
- Cooney Reservoir, Carbon County (confirmed 6/23/2026)
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality posted the following on Facebook:
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — We’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday this weekend, and that means looking at some of the people who helped build our country into what it is today.
One group with a large impact on the country, including Nevada, is the Chinese.
In fact, Chinese-Americans were involved in mining in Nevada, and an exhibit at the Clark County Government Center is showcasing their contributions.
Dr. Zhida Song-James, curator of the exhibit, and Moon Xia, vice president of the Nevada Chinese American Association, joined us to share more about this part of Nevada history.
The exhibit is on display now through July 16.
