UnitedHealthcare CEO killed: A timeline of events that led up to the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson outside Midtown Hilton hotel

NEW YORK — Luigi Mangione is accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a crime that gripped the nation.

On December 9, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, 26-year-old Mangione was arrested in connection with a targeted shooting that occurred outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel on December 4.

Here is a timeline of the suspect’s whereabouts before, during and after the shooting:

Nov. 18

In November, Mangione’s mother in San Francisco filed a missing persons report to inquire about her son, as shared by two law enforcement sources.

Nov. 24

The perpetrator arrived in New York City on November 24 via bus, captured by a surveillance camera at Port Authority Bus Terminal at 9 p.m., according to information from law enforcement sources revealed to ABC News.

The inbound bus originated in Atlanta but it was not immediately clear where the suspect boarded.

He likely checked into a hostel on New York City’s Upper West Side that day and later checked out, sources said.

Nov. 30

The suspect likely checked back into the HI New York City Hostel on the Upper West Side on Nov. 30, sources said.

The NYPD released new, clear images of the suspect's face on Thursday as they continue to search for the shooter.

Dec. 4 at 5:34 a.m.

At 5:34 a.m., about one hour before the shooting, Mangione left the hostel and rode an e-bike to Midtown, prosecutors said.

Dec. 4 at 6:15 a.m

At about 6:15 a.m., the suspect bought a water bottle and granola bars at a Starbucks at 1290 Sixth Avenue in Midtown, prosecutors said.

Dec. 4 at 6:19 a.m.

Cleared CCTV video shows a man who appears to be the suspect walking west on 55th Street at 6:19 a.m. The video shows him stoop down as he appears to momentarily drop an object on the garbage before continuing to walk.

Dec. 4 at 6:29 a.m.

The suspect appeared to walk past a parking lot on West 54th Street at 6:29 a.m. — across the street some 50 meters from the site of the shooting.

Dec. 4 at 6:44 a.m.

From 6:38 a.m. to 6:44 a.m., the masked gunman stood against a wall on the north side of West 54th Street across from the New York Hilton Midtown, prosecutors said.

At 6:44 a.m., the masked gunman fatally shot Thompson in front of the north entrance to the Hilton, police said.

“The shooter then walks toward the victim and continues to shoot,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. “It appears that the gun malfunctions, as he clears the jam and begins to fire again.”

The shooter fled on foot into an alley, where a phone believed to be linked to the suspect was later recovered, police sources said.

After making his getaway on a bike, the suspect exited Central Park at 77th Street and Central Park West.

At 86th Street and Columbus Avenue, the suspect ditched the bike and took a taxi to the Port Authority bus facility at 178th Street, by the George Washington Bridge.

The New York City Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify this person wanted for questioning in the Midtown Manhattan murder of a CEO on Dec. 4, 2024.

At first, investigators believed Mangione then boarded a bus at that Port Authority terminal, where investigators said he was spotted on security cameras being dropped off by the taxi. But there was no imagery of Mangione actually getting onto a bus, sources said.

Police sources told ABC News there’s video evidence that shows Mangione left the George Washington Bridge bus station, went south to Penn Station and left New York City by train to Philadelphia.

Mangione then spent several days traversing the state from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, according to Pennsylvania authorities.

Dec. 8

On Dec. 8, FBI agents and NYPD detectives spoke to Mangione’s mother after San Francisco police informed them she had filed a missing persons report and Mangione’s photo seemed to match the suspect photo, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Dec. 9

On Dec. 9, the suspect in the shooting — 26-year-old Luigi Mangione — was identified and taken into custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on unrelated gun charges, authorities said.

He was charged with five crimes in Pennsylvania, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities and possessing “instruments of crime,” according to a newly released criminal complaint.

Prior to his arrest, Mangione was on a Greyhound bus traveling through Altoona, sources said, when he got off and walked into a McDonald’s where a witness recognized him from the images of the suspect circulated by police.

Late Monday evening, Luigi Mangione was charged with second-degree murder charges in New York, according to an online court docket.

At a press conference, officials announced that the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO has been charged with weapons, forgery and other charges in Pennsylvania.

Mangione was also charged with possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a forged instrument and criminal possession of a weapon, the docket said.

The forged instrument is the fake NJ driver’s license he allegedly used to check into the hostel on the Upper West Side.

Dec. 17

On Dec. 17, the Manhattan district attorney announced new charges against Mangione, including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism.

He is also charged in New York with: two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree; four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree; one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree; and one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree.

Mangione remains in the custody of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections pending his extradition to New York.
