UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killer identified as Luigi Mangione, an ex-Ivy League student
The person of interest in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, a tech-savvy former Ivy League student from Towson, Maryland.
Mangione was apprehended Monday morning at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following a nationwide manhunt.
The killing, described as a calculated execution, occurred outside a Manhattan hotel last week.While Mangione is in custody, charges have not yet been filed.
Investigators are working to piece together his motives and potential involvement.
Sources report that Mangione was found with a manifesto that allegedly outlines grievances against the U.S. healthcare industry.
The document criticizes the sector for prioritizing profit over public welfare and accuses it of questionable ethical practices.
Law enforcement officials suggest Mangione acted alone, and his writings align with anti-capitalist, environmentalist, and anti-establishment ideologies.

Authorities also uncovered Mangione’s online activity, which includes interactions with anti-capitalist and climate-change content.
Particularly troubling to investigators are his liked quotes from notorious figures, including Ted Kaczynski, the so-called “Unabomber,” whose writings condemned modern society and technology. One liked quote by Kaczynski reads:
“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. … Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs.”
Mangione, described as exceptionally bright, was valedictorian of his 2016 graduating class at the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore, where tuition exceeds $40,000 annually.
He was an accomplished soccer player and intended to pursue studies in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and computer science at the University of Pennsylvania, according to a 2016 interview.
Mangione’s capture followed tips from vigilant McDonald’s staff who recognized him from widely circulated images. At the time of his arrest, he was reportedly in possession of a firearm and a silencer-like device, both believed to be linked to the murder.
While Mangione’s manifesto offers potential insight into his motivations, investigators are still determining whether these ideological views directly influenced the murder.
The case remains under active investigation, with law enforcement urging anyone with additional information to come forward.
