Luigi Mangione Arrested for Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO in NYC

A 26-year-old man, Luigi Mangione, was apprehended after the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, New York.

Luigi Mangione, a Pennsylvania resident, was arrested on Monday at a McDonald's in Altoona, approximately 280 miles from New York City. He has been charged with murder in connection to the shooting of Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, who was fatally shot in the back last Wednesday outside a Hilton hotel in a surprising daylight attack.

Authorities revealed that Mangione was found in possession of a 3D-printed firearm and a handwritten note that indicated his "motivation and mindset.” Following his arrest, he was arraigned in a Pennsylvania court on five preliminary counts, including murder and firearms-related charges, with bail denied.

The police believe Thompson was specifically targeted in a planned execution, heightening the case's seriousness and public interest. This shooting occurred just prior to an investors' meeting for UnitedHealthcare, amplifying the shock within the business community.
