Ivy League Graduate Charged with Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO, Found with Ghost Gun and Anti-Corporate Manifesto
Dec 10, 2024, 01:30 PM
Police have arrested and charged 26-year-old Ivy League graduate Luigi Mangione with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel last week. Mangione was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after being spotted at a McDonald's. He was found carrying a ghost gun, forged documents, and a manifesto expressing ill will towards corporate America, reportedly praising the Unabomber. Authorities indicate that Mangione viewed the killing as a symbolic takedown of the healthcare industry. Originally from a wealthy Baltimore family, he had health problems, including chronic back pain. Mangione is currently held without bail, awaiting extradition to New York City on charges including murder, weapons possession, and forgery.
