A 26-year-old Ivy League graduate has been hit with gun and other charges in Pennsylvania as authorities investigate his connection to the murder of a senior UnitedHealth Group executive ahead of an investor event in New York last week.
一名26歲的常春藤盟校(Ivy League)畢業生在賓夕法尼亞被控持槍及其他罪名,當局正在調查他與上週聯合健康集團(UnitedHealth Group)高階主管被殺案的關聯,該名高階主管在紐約前往一場投資者活動途中被謀殺。
Local police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, apprehended Luigi Mangione, 26, of Maryland at a McDonald’s restaurant following a tip from an employee, New York police authorities said at a press conference on Monday.
紐約警方在週一舉行的新聞發佈會上說,賓州阿爾圖納當地警方根據一名員工提供的線索,在一家麥當勞餐廳逮捕了來自馬里蘭州的26歲的路易吉•曼焦內(Luigi Mangione)。
Eric Adams, the New York mayor, described Mangione as a “strong person of interest” in possession of several items potentially connected to the crime. Jessica Tisch, New York Police Department commissioner, said NYPD detectives alongside officials from the district attorney’s office were heading to Pennsylvania to interview Mangione.
紐約市長埃裏克•亞當斯(Eric Adams)稱曼焦內是一名「重要嫌疑人」,他持有幾件可能與犯罪有關的物品。紐約警察局局長傑西卡•蒂施(Jessica Tisch)說,紐約警察局的警探和地方檢察官辦公室的官員正前往賓州向曼焦內進行問話。
Mangione was in possession of an untraceable “ghost gun” with a suppressor and fake New Jersey ID card matching the description of those used by the individual suspected of shooting Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, the Minnesota-based group’s insurance unit, before dawn on December 4.
曼焦內持有一把無法追蹤的「幽靈槍」,配有消音器,登記在一張僞造的新澤西(New Jersey)身份證名下,其資訊符合槍擊布萊恩•湯普森(Brian Thompson)的嫌疑人身份。湯普森是明尼蘇達州聯合健康集團保險部門首席執行長,12月4日凌晨被槍殺。
Mangione was also carrying a handwritten, three-page document which outlined “some ill will towards corporate America” but did not mention any specific individuals, said Joseph Kenny, the NYPD chief of detectives.
紐約警察局刑偵隊長約瑟夫•肯尼(Joseph Kenny)說,曼焦內還攜帶了一份手寫的三頁檔案,其中概述了「對美國企業的一些不滿」,但沒有提及任何具體個人。
He made a brief initial court appearance in Pennsylvania on Monday evening, where he was charged with weapons violations, forgery and false identification, among others.
週一晚上,他在賓州首次短暫出庭,被指控犯有武器違規、僞造和虛假身份等罪行。
Mangione was an engineering graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, according to a LinkedIn profile of a person matching his description. He was born and raised in Maryland, and his last known address was Honolulu, Hawaii, the NYPD said.
根據領英(LinkedIn)上一個符合曼焦內資訊的人的資料,他畢業於賓州大學工程系。紐約警方說,他在馬里蘭州出生和長大,最後一個已知地址是夏威夷檀香山。
The development comes after a five-day manhunt in which NYPD detectives and federal investigators have criss-crossed the city and nearby states in an attempt to solve the murder that shocked New York and corporate America.
在此之前,紐約警方和聯邦調查人員已經在紐約市和附近各州展開了爲期五天的搜捕行動,試圖破獲這起震驚紐約和美國企業界的謀殺案。
Tisch said: “For just over five days, our NYPD investigators combed through thousands of hours of video, followed up on hundreds of tips and processed every bit of forensic evidence — DNA, fingerprints, IP addresses and so much more — to tighten the net.”
蒂施說:「在短短五天多的時間裏,我們的紐約警方調查人員梳理了數千小時的影片,追蹤了數百條線索,處理了每一項法醫證據,包括DNA、指紋、IP地址等,以收緊包圍網。」
The NYPD released CCTV images of the suspect checking into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan before the murder and in the back of taxi following the killing. Tisch credited the images with progress in the case: “The images that we shared with the public were spread far and wide and the tips we received led to recovery of crucial evidence,” she said.
紐約警察局發佈了嫌疑人在謀殺案發生前入住曼哈頓上西區一家旅館的監控影像,以及在案發後乘坐計程車的影像。蒂施稱這些影像推動了案件的進展:「我們與公衆分享的影像被廣泛傳播,我們收到的線索幫助找到了關鍵證據。」
Thompson’s murder before dawn on his way to an investor event organised by UnitedHealth Group at a Marriott hotel off Sixth Avenue in midtown Manhattan has raised concerns about the security of high-ranking executives.
湯普森在黎明前被謀殺,當時他正前往由聯合健康集團在曼哈頓中城第六大道附近的萬豪酒店舉辦的投資者活動。這一事件引發了人們對高階主管安全的擔憂。
The killing has also fuelled a debate about the state of medical care in the world’s costliest healthcare system — UnitedHealthcare is the country’s biggest insurer, covering nearly 50mn Americans. “Our hope is that today’s apprehension brings some relief to Brian’s family, friends, colleagues and the many others affected by this unspeakable tragedy,” UnitedHealth said.
這起謀殺也引發了關於世界上最昂貴的醫療系統的醫療狀況的辯論——聯合健康是美國最大的保險公司,覆蓋了近5000萬美國人。聯合健康表示:「我們希望今天的逮捕能給布萊恩的家人、朋友、同事和其他許多受這起無法形容的悲劇影響的人帶來一些安慰。」
Thompson was shot from behind three times outside the Marriott Midtown hotel at 6.45am local time, and was pronounced dead shortly afterwards at nearby Mount Sinai hospital. Detectives later discovered bullet casings at the scene with inscriptions including “deny” and “defend” — a possible nod to a 2010 book about how insurers deny claims.
當地時間早上6點45分,湯普森在中城萬豪酒店外被人從背後連開三槍,不久後在附近的西奈山醫院被宣佈死亡。警探隨後在現場發現了刻有否認」和「辯護」等字樣的子彈殼,這可能與2010年出版的一本關於保險公司如何拒絕索賠的書有關。
Since then the NYPD gradually pieced together the killer’s movements before and after the shooting. The suspect arrived in New York in late November, staying in the Upper West Side hostel.
此後,紐約警方逐漸拼湊出凶手在槍擊前後的行蹤。嫌犯於11月下旬抵達紐約,住在上西區的旅社。
Following the shooting, he first travelled uptown on an e-bike through Central Park, where his backpack was later recovered. Then, he made his way to an interstate bus station, where he boarded a bus out of the city.
槍擊案發生後,他先是騎著電動自行車穿過中央公園來到上城區,他的揹包隨後在那裏被發現。然後他來到一個州際汽車站,乘坐巴士離開這座城市。
