Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, has been arrested and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Evidence linking Mangione to the crime includes fingerprints found on a water bottle and a chocolate bar near the crime scene, as well as shell casings matching those from the 3D-printed ghost gun found on him. Mangione, who comes from a wealthy Maryland family involved in healthcare and country clubs, allegedly planned the assassination, preferring a targeted shooting over a bomb to avoid harming innocent bystanders. His defense attorney, Thomas Dickey, has begun representing him in Pennsylvania, where Mangione faces gun charges. The case has drawn significant public attention, with an online fundraiser for Mangione's legal defense receiving over a thousand donations.
