Luigi Nicholas Mangione is an American man who was identified as a person of interest in the killing of Brian Thompson. Mangione was apprehended and arraigned in Altoona, Pennsylvania on December 9, 2024.[1]
Early life
[edit]Mangione was born in the US state of Maryland. In 2016, he graduated as valedictorian from the Gilman School, a prep school in the state.[1] He attended the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in May 2020. He received a bachelors and masters degree for Science in Engineering with a major in computer science and a minor in mathematics. He lived in Honolulu until the killing.[2]
Involvement in the killing of Brian Thompson
[edit]On December 4, 2024, CEO of health insurance company UnitedHealthcare Brian Thompson was shot and killed outside of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in New York City. The gunman was masked and had come to New York via a bus from Atlanta.[3][4] On the bullet casings were the words "Deny", "Defend", and "Depose", which some have linked to criticism of health insurance companies not paying claims.[5] The suspect possibly left the city, being seen at a bus terminal afterward.[6] Anger erupted on social media platforms at Thompson, UnitedHealth, and the health insurance system generally, with many praising the killing.[7]
On December 9, Mangione was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, suspected by an employee of carrying out the attack.[8] He was arraigned at Blair County Courthouse on firearms charges and questioned by the New York City Police Department.[9]
Capture
[edit]On December 9th, Mangione was arraigned in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and was put into the Altoona county jail. When asked by the police if he has been to New York City recently, he was reportedly "visibly shaken".[10]
Mangione is the relative of Maryland representative Nino Mangione, who has expressed devastation and no further knowledge of the case upon news of his arrest.[3]
Motivations
[edit]Mangione was allegedly found to have a three-page manifesto that speaks to "both to his mind and his mindset" for the crime. Excerpts of the manifesto included, "These parasites had it coming" and "I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it had to be done". Mangione also left a four-star rating on the Unabomber manifesto, saying "Clearly written by a mathematics prodigy. Reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life".[2]
Social media praise
[edit]People on social media immediately after Mangione's arrest began praising him as a hero and giving him flirtatious messages with one person saying “Sacrificing himself for the greater good of society.” People also began following his social media accounts garnering him 270,000 followers after his identification. Mangione's account on Twitter was deleted but shortly reinstated. An imposter on YouTube acting as him was deleted after garnering large viewers.[10]
