The New York Post reports:
A person of interest was nabbed Monday in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — busted possibly trying to use a fake ID in a McDonald’s, law-enforcement sources said.
The man — who sources said is being eyed for the coldblooded, targeted execution in front of a Manhattan hotel last week — allegedly had a manifesto on him when he was taken into custody by cops in Altoona, Pa.
He also had a gun, silencer, four fake IDs and other items “consistent” with what authorities were looking for in the case, sources said. Law enforcement were still trying to figure out the man’s real identity, sources said. He was nabbed on a tip called into local cops, who then apprehended him, sources said.
