The man being questioned by police in connection to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was picked up in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee thought he resembled the man in the NYPD’s photos and called the cops, multiple law enforcement officials briefed on the situation tell CNN.
Altoona police responded to the call and picked up the man, who they say is 26 years old, and searched him.
In the search, they found a gun with a suppressor — a device that muffles the sound of a firearm — like that used in the homicide and multiple fake IDs, including one that the NYPD believes was used by the suspect in New York City, the officials say.
The man is under arrest on charges in connection with the gun recovered by police, according to a law enforcement official.
The suspect was in possession of some documents that investigators also want to examine as potentially relating to motive, though further details on the documents were not clear.
Altoona police are waiting for NYPD detectives, who are on their way.
