Luigi Mangione, 26, facing second-degree murder among other charges
UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect praised unabomber as 'political revolutionary'
Fox News' Bryan Llenas reports live from Altoona, Pennsylvania where 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was arrested and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Luigi Mangione, the man charged with the murder of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, is pictured for the first time wearing an orange jumpsuit in a mugshot obtained by Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Mangione, 26, was arrested Monday at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following an intense five-day nationwide manhunt after 50-year-old Brian Thompson was shot from behind on the sidewalk outside a New York City Hilton hotel before a shareholder conference.
Fox News Digital also obtained a New York arrest warrant on Tuesday that says, "the cause of Mr. Thompson's death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the torso" and Mangione allegedly fired "several times" at Thompson, "causing him to collapse on the ground."
Thompson was appointed the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in April 2021. He is survived by his wife Paulette "Pauley" Thompson, 51, and their two children.
