Suspect in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Identified

Source: New York Post

“The suspect nabbed in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from ‘Unabomber’ Ted Kaczynski — and seethed in a manifesto, ‘These parasites had it coming’, law enforcement sources told The Post on Monday. Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, originally from Towson, Md., apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, sources said. He has not been charged in the slaying but was taken into custody Monday morning while eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., ending an intense manhunt sparked by the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said. The former prep school valedictorian was caught with a ghost gun that uses 9mm bullets, a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs with names used during the killer’s stint in New York City and the manifesto, sources said.” (12/09/24)
