Police have ID’ed the man they think is responsible for the assassination of the UnitedHealth CEO in New York City.
Police arrested a 26-year-old man on Monday on firearm charges and publicly identified him as a person of interest in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the executive gunned down on a busy midtown Manhattan sidewalk last week.
The man was being held near Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee at a local McDonald’s thought the looked suspicious and called police, according to law enforcement sources.
It’s-a-me, Luigi!
Talk about being a stereotype, huh? Italian dude named Luigi pulling off hit jobs in NYC is such a played out trope, don’t you think?
If you want to read more about the police arresting this man, we covered it here.
Since then, we have learned about the man having a manifesto on his person, multiple fake IDs, and a suppressed pistol.
Two senior law enforcement officials said the man in Altoona being questioned had the name “Marc Rosario” on his fake NJ ID. Three sources familiar with the matter said the suspected gunman checked into the hostel using a fake NJ ID with the name ‘Marc Rosario.’
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch identified the person of interest as Luigi Mangione. The commissioner said he had a manifesto on his person that speaks to his possible alleged ‘motivation and mindset’ in the killing.
It sure sounds like the cops have got their guy.
Here’s the link to his X profile (before it gets scrubbed, of course.)
The New York Post has some more info that might give a clue as to the alleged killer’s mindset.
The manifesto railed against the US healthcare industry, including over its enormous profits and alleged shady motives, sources said …
His LinkedIn page indicates that he once worked in an assisted-living facility for the elderly for a few months in 2014, while still in high school …
Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, according to law-enforcement sources, citing online activity gleaned by authorities …
On the Goodreads website, Mangione’s account shows quotes he particularly likes ranging from Socrates to Bruce Lee — to wacky anti-establishment Kaczynski, the infamous “Unabomber” who terrorized the country for nearly two decades by dispatching deadly bombs before he was nabbed in 1996.
Here are a couple of thoughts from the Unabomber that Mangione has shared on social media in the past.
‘Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness,” Kaczynski wrote at one point in a quote liked by Mangione.
‘Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual’s internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.’
Despite things like his climate posts, he didn’t seem to like wokeness:
He also posted about the “trolley” problem and billionaires:
Hoo boy.
