systems Killing of Brian Thompson
Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old CEO of the American health insurance company UnitedHealthcare, was shot and killed in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, on December 4, 2024. The shooting occurred early in the morning outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown hotel.[4] Thompson was in the city to attend an annual investors' meeting for UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare. Prior to his death, he faced criticism for the company's rejection of insurance claims, and his family reported that he had received death threats in the past. The suspect, initially described as a white man wearing a mask, fled the scene.[1] On December 9, 2024, authorities arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and charged him with Thompson's murder in a Manhattan court.[5][6][7]
Authorities said Mangione was carrying a 3D-printed pistol and a 3D-printed suppressor consistent with those used in the attack, as well as a short handwritten letter to federal law enforcement (characterized as a manifesto) criticizing America's healthcare system, a U.S. passport, and multiple fraudulent IDs, including one with the same name the alleged shooter used to check into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[8][9][10] Authorities also said his fingerprints matched those that investigators found near the New York shooting scene.[11] Mangione was held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery, and providing false New Jersey-resident identification to police.[12] Mangione also has an arrest warrant with five felony counts in New York, including second-degree murder.[13] Mangione's lawyer said he will plead not guilty to the charges.[12] Police believe that he was inspired by Ted Kaczynski's essay Industrial Society and Its Future (1995), and motivated by his personal views on health insurance
