Hours after police detained and questioned 26-year-old Luigi Mangione in connection to the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a cryptic video was uploaded to YouTube from an account that appears to be linked to Mangione.
"If you see this, I'm already under arrest," said a caption in the silent 84 second clip. 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. By for now."
While the account is not confirmed to be that of Mangione's, the user's photo is one of Mangione, 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.
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
