Luigi Mangione Arrested in Midtown Manhattan for Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
Dec 16, 2024, 11:14 AM
Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former high school valedictorian and Ivy League graduate, has been arrested in connection with the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The incident occurred on December 4 outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan as Thompson was heading to an investors' conference. Mangione, who was apprehended at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, faces charges in both Pennsylvania and New York. He is accused of second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and possession of a forged document in New York, while in Pennsylvania, he faces charges related to a gun and fake ID. Evidence against Mangione includes a 3D-printed gun, matching shell casings, and handwritten notes suggesting his disdain for the health insurance industry. His mother had filed a missing persons report before his arrest, and he has hired Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a former Manhattan prosecutor, to represent him in New York. The case has sparked widespread debate about the state of the U.S. healthcare system and has led to increased security concerns among business leaders.
