00:07Pennsylvania after a five-day manhunt.
00:10Thompson was shot dead on December 4 in Manhattan in what the police say is a targeted attack.
00:16His murder unleashed a wave of frustration from Americans struggling to afford medical
00:20care and those who have been denied claims or care.
00:24CBS News reports the NYPD believe Mangione's grievances about UnitedHealthcare motivated
00:29the murder.
00:31Mangione referred to corporations as mafiosa that have gotten too powerful.
00:36Mangione was an Ivy League graduate who worked at a car-buying website as a data engineer
00:41but suffered from chronic back pain.
00:44Officers found in his backpack a 3D-printed ghost gun and untraceable firearm.
00:49He also had multiple fake IDs, including one used by the gunman.
00:53His defense lawyer says he would oppose extradition to New York, where Mangione is charged with
00:58murder and other crimes.
01:00He will remain in jail in Pennsylvania, where he faces gun and forgery charges.
