Fake New Jersey ID Found on UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder Suspect Luigi Mangione, Listed as ‘Mark Rosario’
Authorities have uncovered a fake New Jersey identification card in the possession of Luigi Mangione, the primary suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The ID, bearing the alias “Mark Rosario,” was discovered during Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
The New Jersey ID, part of an array of evidence being analyzed, raises questions about Mangione’s preparation and attempts to conceal his identity.
Investigators believe the fake ID may have been part of his strategy to evade detection following the high-profile killing outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4.
Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy League student with a history of anti-capitalist rhetoric and grievances against the healthcare industry, has not yet been formally charged.
However, law enforcement continues to connect him to the crime through a range of evidence, including the firearm recovered at his arrest, a suppressor, and a handwritten manifesto critical of corporate America, particularly the healthcare sector.
The discovery of the fake ID adds another layer of intrigue to the case, as authorities explore whether Mangione planned additional steps to escape justice.
The investigation remains ongoing, with police urging the public to provide any information that may assist in closing the case.
