Screenshot of Luigi Mangione YouTube Video via Luigi Mangione alleged YouTube Channel

Hours after authorities detained Luigi Mangione, 26, a cryptic video was uploaded to a YouTube account allegedly linked to Mangione.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was arrested on Monday on gun charges after being recognized as the person of interest in connection to the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione was found inside a McDonald’s by police after an employee recognized Mangione as the person of interest distributed on wanted posters for the killing of Brian Thompson.

As local police arrived, they discovered a gun that was “consistent with the weapon used in the murder of Brian Thompson,” fake IDs, and a manifesto railing on corporate America.

After Mangione was arrested, a video appeared on a YouTube channel that allegedly belonged to Magione.

The Gateway Pundit cannot independently verify whether Luigi is the owner or operator of the mentioned YouTube account. The account was created on January 20, 2024 and only one video was posted.

The video showed a countdown clock that said, “If you see this, I’m already under arrest.”

The video added, “All is scheduled; be patient. Bye for now.”

According to Newsweek:

Several hours after police made what appears to be a major break in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a cryptic video was uploaded to YouTube from an account that appears to be linked to the man they detained as a person of interest in the case.

“If you see this, I’m already under arrest,” said a caption in the silent 84-second clip posted by the account @PepMangione, which matches other social handles that appear to be those of Luigi Mangione, the man arrested on Monday.

The message was accompanied by a countdown from 60 seconds. Near the end of the video, the message, “Soon…” appeared at the bottom right of a black screen. A second caption appeared at the end of the video, saying, “All is scheduled, be patient. Bye for now.”

While the account is not confirmed to be that of Mangione’s, the user’s photo is his, and a description on their page references Mangione’s education at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as his age. It says the user joined YouTube on January 20 of this year. Monday’s video appears to be the only piece of content that’s been uploaded by the account.

“In this case, the suspect probably set up a sort of deadman switch by continually rescheduling the video for the day after today, until he was suddenly in custody and couldn’t,” computer science engineer John Maly told Newsweek. Assuming this is indeed his account and his video, it certainly doesn’t help his case in court.”

WATCH:

Per CNN:

Police are questioning a man in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week in Manhattan.

NYPD officials on Monday identified the man as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione. He is under arrest on gun charges, police said.

How he was found: The suspect was “sitting there eating” at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, when an employee of the restaurant recognized him and called police, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. He credited the tip to the wide circulation of a photo the NYPD released last week of the person without a mask on.
