Fingerprints found on a water bottle and KIND bar wrapper discarded near the scene of the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson are a match to accused killer Luigi Mangione, two sources told the Daily News Wednesday.
Surveillance images from the Starbucks two blocks from the shooting were the first released after the murder but did not trigger a facial recognition hit.
Mangione is accused of shooting Thompson, 50, as he walked to a Hilton hotel on W. 54th St. and Sixth Ave. where the victim was about to address colleagues and company investors at a conference on Dec. 4.
At a press conference Tuesday night at his office in Altoona, Penn., where Mangione was arrested and is being held, lawyer Thomas Dickey said he hadn't seen any evidence that his client is guilty of the caught-on-camera slaying.
"I have not seen one scintilla, one speck, one drop of any evidence yet," said Dickey, before vowing that his client would be pleading not guilty to "every charge".
Mangione appeared in court in Blair County Tuesday, a day after his arrest at a McDonald's after a customer and worker recognized him from widely circulated surveillance video images.
Dickey said he would continue to fight extradition to New York, adding it would be a lengthy process and that he and Mangione would approach it methodically.
