Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was taken into custody on Monday in Pennsylvania, nearly one week after the "brazen, targeted" shooting outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel on Wednesday, police said.
Here is a timeline of the suspect's whereabouts before, during and after the shooting:
Nov. 24

The inbound bus originated in Atlanta but it was not immediately clear where the suspect boarded.
He likely checked into a hostel on New York City's Upper West Side that day and later checked out, sources said.

ew cleared CCTV video shows a man who appears to be the suspect walking west on 55th Street at 6:19 a.m. The video shows him stoop down as he appears to momentarily drop an object on the garbage before continuing to walk.
Before the shooting
S
ometime before the shooting, the suspect is spotted at a Starbucks. The exact time is not clear.
Dec. 4 at 6:29 a.m.
T
he suspect appeared to walk past a parking lot on West 54th Street at 6:29 a.m. -- across the street some 50 meters from the site of the shooting.
Dec. 4 at 6:44 a.m.
A
t 6:44 a.m., the masked gunman fatally shot Brian Thompson in front of the north entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown.
"The shooter then walks toward the victim and continues to shoot," NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. "It appears that the gun malfunctions, as he clears the jam and begins to fire again."
The shooter fled on foot into an alley, where a phone believed to be linked to the suspect was later recovered, police sources said.
Time unknown
T
he suspect then fled north on a bike and rode into Central Park, police said.
Time unknown

fter making his getaway on a bike, the suspect exited Central Park at 77th Street and Central Park West.
At 86th Street and Columbus Avenue, the suspect ditched the bike and took a taxi to the Port Authority bus facility at 178th Street.
Police believe he boarded a bus there and left New York City.
Dec. 9
O
n Dec. 9, the suspect in the shooting -- 26-year-old Luigi Mangione -- was identified and taken into custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania, authorities said.
That evening, he was charged with five crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities and possessing "instruments of crime," according to a newly released criminal complaint.
The man was on a Greyhound bus traveling through Altoona, sources said, when he got off and walked into a McDonald's where a witness recognized him from the images of the suspect circulated by police.
Mangione, from Maryland, was in possession of a handwritten document "that speaks to his motivation and mindset," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.
"It does seem that he had some ill will toward corporate America," police said.
Mangione had a ghost gun capable of firing a 9 mm round and a suppressor, police said.
He was also in possession of a fake New Jersey driver's license similar to the one the suspect used to check into a hostel in New York City before the shooting, she said.
Tisch praised the "good old-fashioned detective work" of the NYPD and the "power of the public" that led to the arrest.
Police said they're working to trace his movements from New York City to Pennsylvania.
