Pennsylvania police have detained a man that they believe to be a “person of interest” in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

On Monday, the man was taken into custody by police in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He was nabbed due to a tip that was called into local officials. Police located the man sitting at a McDonalds.

The individual that is now in custody had a manifesto on him, a gun, a suppressor, four fake IDs and other items that were “consistent” with what authorities would expect the killer to have in his possession.

A New York police source noted that the man looks like the suspect, highlighting the man’s similar eyebrows.
