Luigi Mangione Not a Client of UnitedHealthcare, NYPD Chief Reveals [WATCH]

Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was never a client of the insurance company, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.

Mangione, 26, is accused of targeting Thompson as the executive walked to the Hilton hotel in Manhattan, where UnitedHealthcare’s parent company, UnitedHealth Group, was hosting its annual investor conference on December 4, as reported by The New York Post.

Chief Kenny suggested Mangione’s actions might have been driven by disdain for the influence and wealth of UnitedHealthcare, which ranks as the fifth-largest corporation in America.

“We have no indication that he was ever a client of UnitedHealthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth-largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest health care organization in America,” Kenny told NBC.

Investigators discovered Mangione’s manifesto-type document, which accused health insurance companies of corporate greed, in his possession when he was arrested. The two-and-a-half-page screed, addressed to “the Feds,” specifically mentioned UnitedHealthcare, further tying his motive to his apparent anger at large corporations.

Authorities recovered damning evidence, including a 3D-printed pistol and silencer, a loaded Glock magazine, and multiple fake IDs from Mangione’s backpack. Ballistics testing confirmed that the ghost gun used in the murder matched shell casings found at the scene.

Investigators also found Mangione’s fingerprints on a water bottle and granola bar wrapper near the crime site.

The arrest ended a five-day manhunt that spanned multiple states. Mangione was apprehended at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s after a sharp-eyed employee recognized him and alerted law enforcement.

Along with the manifesto and ghost gun, Mangione was found with materials linking him to the slaying, underscoring the premeditated nature of the attack.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, Mangione has pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges. He remains in custody at the State Correctional Institution in Huntington, Pennsylvania, after a judge denied bail earlier this week.

Mangione has resisted extradition to New York, where Governor Kathy Hochul confirmed he would be indicted “any day now.” A warrant for his transfer will be issued as soon as charges are officially filed.
