Ex-data engineer caught after deadly shooting of healthcare boss in Manhattan
A former tech worker with chronic health issues was arrested for shooting UnitedHealths insurance chief in Manhattan. Police found a handwritten manifesto and illegal weapons during the suspects capture
Luigi Mangione made a scene at the Pennsylvania courthouse last tuesday‚ yelling at reporters while being taken inside (its meaning wasnt clear). The 26-year-old tech-savvy suspect faces charges for killing Brian Thompson‚ UnitedHealths insurance division leader
The high-profile shooting happened outside a mid-town hotel about a week ago - police say it wasnt random. When caught at a fast-food place Mangione had some interesting items: a home-made gun‚ silencer and fake IDʼs. His lawyer Tom Dickey says theyll fight moving the case to NY
Mangiones background shows a mix of success and health troubles. The ivy-league grad worked as a data-engineer at TrueCar until late-23; taking time off for back-related problems. His ex-roommate from a co-living space in Hawaii described him as smart and friendly - but things changed after he left for back surgery
A hand-written document found with the suspect shows his thoughts on healthcare: the Times reports it talks about fighting what he saw as industry problems. His social media has x-rays showing metal parts in his spine; suggesting ongoing medical issues
The victim Thompson was at a company meeting when the incident happened. He worked there 20 years becoming CEO in spring-21. The suspects family shared through social media: “Weʼre shocked and devastated by Luigis arrest“
These parasites simply had it coming
