Ivy League Graduate Arrested for UnitedHealthcare CEO's Murder Using Ghost Gun
Dec 12, 2024, 09:29 AM
Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, has been arrested in Pennsylvania and is suspected of killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in Manhattan. Mangione allegedly used a 'ghost gun'—an untraceable firearm made using 3D printing—in the targeted shooting. Police report that the gun found on Mangione matches shell casings recovered at the scene, and his fingerprints have been linked to evidence, including a water bottle found near the crime scene. Authorities are investigating additional charges against him, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Mangione had reportedly detailed his plans in a notebook, emphasizing precision and avoiding risk to innocents. His defense attorney stated the need to evaluate the veracity and precision of the evidence against his client. Mangione had a history of chronic back pain and had participated in online discussions about his health issues on Reddit. His mother had filed a missing person's report for him in San Francisco in November.
