VD:n för UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, mördad i New York (2024-12-04)

The man charged in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was not a client of the health insurer, FOX Business has learned, amid theories he may have targeted the company head over denied claims.

In an interview Thursday with WNBC-TV, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Ivy League graduate Luigi Mangione may have targeted the company because of its size and influence.

Mangione's mother was not a member of UnitedHealthcare either.

..Luigi Mangione was estranged from his family for over a year, causing them to hire a private investigator to locate him, sources told DailyMail.com.

Accused killer Luigi Mangione may have targeted UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson over hatred of his company’s policies — but the suspect’s own family made millions with a nursing home network that was rife with violations and complaints, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS).

Overall, the Bel Air facility has been hit with 24 health citations over the last six years, nearly three times more than the national average of 9.6 citations.

A friend from Mangione's all-boys private high, The Gilman School in Baltimore, said the 26-year-old ceased contact with his family last year 2023, leaving them increasingly worried for his safety.

After a drizzly hike through one of Japan’s lush mountain ranges earlier this year, Luigi Mangione, a computer engineer in his mid-20s who had set off on a long solo trip to Asia, paused to record a voice message to a friend he had met while traveling abroad.
Making his way that day along a river gorge in the Nara region, Mr. Mangione had fled his day-to-day life in Hawaii to soak in hot springs, meditate, catch up on books and do some writing of his own.
“I want some time to Zen out,” Mr. Mangione said in the recorded message on April 27, his voice quiet and contemplative.
It would be one of his last communications before he abruptly cut ties with a wide range of friends and family, who eventually set out on a desperate hunt to track him down.
