Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot outside a Hilton hotel in Manhattan on December 4. Police are currently examining digital records, video footage, and phone records to strengthen their case against Mangione. A New York grand jury is in the process of hearing evidence related to the case. Notably, Mangione was never a client of UnitedHealthcare, as confirmed by both the company and the New York Police Department. Following his arrest, which came after a week-long manhunt, Mangione retained Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a prominent defense attorney with extensive experience in New York's criminal justice system. The most serious charge he faces is second-degree murder. As the investigation continues, authorities are exploring possible motives for the shooting, which may relate to the company's size and influence.
