Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Monday.
Police arrested a 'strong person of interest' in killing of C.E.O.After a five-day manhunt, police arrested a man today in connection with the brazen killing of a health insurance executive last week in Midtown Manhattan. Here's the latest. The man, who the authorities identified as Luigi Mangione, 26, was taken into custody at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa. The local authorities were alerted to the man's whereabouts by an employee at the McDonald's who recognized him from photos shared by the police. He matched the description of the person suspected in the killing of the health executive, Brian Thompson, 50, chief of UnitedHealthcare. Police said that Mangione was carrying a so-called ghost gun with a silencer, a fake ID matching the one used by the suspected gunman and a handwritten manifesto criticizing health care companies for putting profits above care. Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, and has lived in San Francisco and Honolulu, the police said. He attended Gilman School, a private high school in Baltimore, where he wrestled and graduated in 2016 as the valedictorian. Here's what else we know about the man who was arrested, and what we know about the killing.
Rebels assert control in SyriaThe rebels who ended the Assad family's regime in Syria began asserting control today over the capital, Damascus. Fighters took up positions outside public buildings and directed traffic along city roads. They announced that a new government would begin working immediately. But major questions remain unanswered, including who would be charged with leading the country, as the world processed the stunning end to the dictatorship. Euphoria around the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad over the weekend mixed with uncertainty about the country's future. Times reporters who entered the country today from Lebanon saw abandoned Syrian military tanks, empty checkpoints and many signs of lawlessness along the main highway to Damascus. See the videos: Al-Assad's grip over Syria was once visible everywhere in the capital. It was all dismantled in less than 24 hours.
Daniel Penny was acquitted in subway killingDaniel Penny, a former Marine who choked a fellow subway rider in New York City last year, was acquitted today on a charge of criminally negligent homicide. The jury concluded that Penny's actions were not criminal when he held the other rider, Jordan Neely, 30, in a minutes-long chokehold. Neely, who had a history of mental illness, had been yelling at passengers and frightening them, according to witnesses.
Schools aim to intercept self-harm by spying on studentsMillions of American schoolchildren — close to half, according to estimates — are subject to surveillance by software that alerts schools when students type words related to suicide. Sometimes the technology causes distressing false alarms. Other times, it allows for critical interventions. More top news
'Emilia Pérez' topped the Golden Globe nominationsThe point of the Golden Globes has become clearer in recent years: "It's a cash register masquerading as an awards show," my colleague Brooks Barnes wrote. They are an opportunity to sell advertising, promote winter movies and show off designer gowns. Nevertheless, they draw in celebrities and provide an opportunity for awards-season chatter. This year's nominations were announced this morning, and Netflix's "Emilia Pérez" received 10, the most of any movie, followed by "The Brutalist" with seven. The most notable omissions included the actresses Danielle Deadwyler ("The Piano Lesson") and Marianne Jean-Baptiste ("Hard Truths"), both perceived as potential Oscar nominees.
The richest deal in sports historyLast night, Juan Soto — who at 26 has already proved himself to be among the best hitters in baseball — agreed to sign a 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets. It's the largest deal in professional sports history, breaking a record set just last year by the two-way Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. Several teams were involved in a bidding war for Soto. The Mets won him over in large part because they are owned by Steve Cohen, a hedge-fund billionaire with the willingness to outspend everyone.

A sushi master is quietly serving New YorkersAn iron law of sushi holds that the more impressive the restaurant, the smaller the sign. Take Sushi Sho on East 41st Street in Manhattan. You could walk right past and never guess that on the other side of the door is one of the world's most influential sushi chefs, Keiji Nakazawa. The restaurant opened to very little fanfare in March. But the more dishes you taste, the clearer it becomes that Nakazawa is extraordinarily accomplished in his craft, particularly a style of sushi called Edomae, which he helped revive. My colleague Pete Wells spoke to him about his path to becoming a sushi master. Have a skillful evening. Thanks for reading. I'll be back tomorrow. — Matthew Vi Nguyen was our photo editor today.
