Who is Luigi Mangione, person of interest in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting
Luigi Mangione, 26, was apprehended by police on Monday in connection with the homicide of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.
The big picture: Thompson's shooting on Wednesday sparked a massive manhunt but no arrests had been made in connection to the case prior to Monday.
Driving the news: Mangione is expected to face gun charges in New York and Pennsylvania, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said during Monday's press briefing
He was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
The Altoona Police Department confirmed in a press release that Mangione was arrested on charges unrelated to Thompson's shooting.
Mangione's last known address was in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was born and raised in Maryland and has ties to San Francisco.
Mangione's education and background
Mangione attended the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 2020 with both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, a Penn spokesperson told Axios.
He received a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in computer science and a minor in mathematics.
He also received a Master of Science in Engineering in computer and information science.
Mangione graduated in 2016 as valedictorian of the Gilman School, a prep school in Maryland, multiple media outlets reported.
A LinkedIn account attributed to Mangione says he served as head counselor at a Stanford University pre-collegiate studies program in 2019. A Stanford spokesperson confirmed to Axios that "a person by the name of Luigi Mangione" had worked as head counselor for the program.
The LinkedIn account says that Mangione started work as a data engineer after graduating Penn.
A spokesperson for TrueCar, another company listed on Mangione's LinkedIn account, said he has not been an employee of the vehicle sales business since 2023.
How the manhunt unfolded
Context: Thompson was shot and killed outside of a midtown Manhattan Hilton at about 6:40am ET on Wednesday by a masked man.
Thompson had received threats, his wife said, possibly related to health care coverage.
Zoom in: A McDonald's employee who recognized Mangione called local police, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Monday. Tisch said his behavior was suspicious during questioning.
Mangione was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, a U.S. passport, a gun and a suppressor consistent with those used in the attack.
A fraudulent New Jersey ID was consistent with one used to check into a New York City hostel ahead of the shooting.
What they're saying: "Officers recovered a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset," Tisch said. The document was three pages long.
"It does seem that he had some ill will toward corporate America," Kenny said.
What's next: NYPD officers and members of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office will interview Mangione further.
Former Gilman School Soccer Player Arrested In Connection with UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder
Luigi Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonalds
Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 2016 graduate of Gilman School in Baltimore and member of the prominent Baltimore area Mangione family, was arrested on Monday morning at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa. and named as a "strong person of interest" in connection to the murder, last week, of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a street in New York City.
Mangione was the valedictorian of his class at Gilman and rgraduated from the University of Pennsylvania. A spokesman for Penn told CBS News Philadelphia that Mangione graduated from the school in 2020 with a bachelor's and master's in computer science.
Reached by text message, Gilman soccer coach Jon Seal would not comment on the reports, under directions from the school's Headmaster, Henry P.A. Smyth.
“This is deeply distressing news on top of an already awful situation. Our hearts go out to everyone affected,” Smyth said in a statement sent to the Gilman School community.
New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, at press conference Monday afternoon, said Mangione was arrested and found in possession of a weapon which matches the description of the gun used to kill Thompson. He also was found with a hand-written manifesto which "speaks to his motivation and mindset."
Thompson's murder, which took place at approximate 6:45 a.m. on Nov. 2 on the sidewalk in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, was captured on video by security cameras. The masked gunman shot Thompson, 50, in the back, at point-blank and fired upon him at least two more times, according to the video footage, before fleeing the scene.
The Mangione family is well known in the Baltimore area for business ventures, including Turf Valley Country Club in Howard County, Hayfields Country Club, Lorien Nursing Homes, and the WCBM-AM radio station. Luigi Mangione is also the cousin of Nino Mangione, a Republican member of the Maryland House of Delegates from Baltimore County.
