UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killed in Midtown Manhattan by masked gunman in December 2024
- Thread starter Guess Who
- Start date
Yes and no. He wasn't using the fake ID at McDonalds. He was acting suspicious and then presented that ID.
It honestly sounds like he was hoping to be caught. Carrying around the same ID, guns, and a manifesto, all while acting "suspicious"? Come on.

Wow. WTH. Trying to remember all I wanted to say after reading all. Not all links, but all posts which have plenty in them.
So he likes Starbucks and McDonalds....
One thing I did want to say is I am not a bit surprised they HAVE him already which it seems they likely do.
I think even though a ton shared, more was known than we knew, probably even what bus he got on, etc.
What is with the Monopoly money? My first thought was it is a light way to fill a backpack but then heck you could fill it with tissue or anything light. Would seem maybe had some significance? To him? To do with ins. companies again and the tons of money or maybe the promise to pay but never paid real money.... NO idea on that one.
He's been described as fairly sophisticated and having planned smart and yet he's really not and it didn't take them long to nab him.
Perhaps he wanted to be caught or at least known, we have sure seen that before. No idea there either.
It still seems to me he wanted the words found and that could be either to throw them off the motive OR because it was his motive and he wanted such known.
Why do they all (perps) seem to think they are smarter than LE, F agents, etc... I mean we have had some incompetent cops but overall, they never are. Usually anyhow.
Should be interesting to hear what further comes out.
A gun probably with parts from the internet etc. Ghost gun. That doesn't surprise me. He seems the type for various reasons. I won't go on about them but think he will have an internet history.
A manifesto. Brilliant. Heuermann had one too, also NY. Gee just add some evidence for them.
This is just so out there I guess. Sure has gotten the attn, likely because it is.
I'm very curious to see if there's a real grudge for a reason and if that's what it's really about.
I don't have much good to say about most ins. cos. but you don't go kill people. Although I guess they kind of do that at times... (the ins. cos.) Not the same but think all know what I mean.
Any idea from anyone why he wasn't just staying at the Hilton? I mean there could be tons of reasons, preferred other hotel, booked too late, full, but heck he was a huge known monied CEO...That's a bit odd to me... It is and it isn't...Or may not be. It seems minor or is it...
I mean he'd have been inside if he had is what I keep thinking. It may be minor, just preferred the other, but I do want to know the reason.

The person of interest in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killing has been identified as a 26-year-old computer whiz who graduated as valedictorian from his Maryland prep school.
Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Md., was carrying a weapon similar to the one used in the fatal shooting of Thompson when he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Monday, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters.
“At this time, he is believed to be our person of interest in the brazen, targeted murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, last Wednesday in midtown Manhattan,” Tisch said at a press conference Monday.
The break in the case came from a Pennsylvania McDonald’s employee, who noticed as Magione was “sitting there eating” that he resembled the suspect seen on the New York Police Department’s wanted posters, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.
He had identification with his name on it, as well as a fake I.D., when he was taken in for questioning, law enforcement sources told the New York Times.
Luigi Mangione was carrying identification with his name on it when he was taken into custody at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.
He also had a “manifesto” on his person, law enforcement sources told the New York Times. The cache of documents criticized health care companies for putting profits above care.
“We don’t think there’s any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document, but it does seem that he has some ill will towards corporate America,” Kenny said.
Mangione, who is one of six kids, graduated as valedictorian from the Gilman School in Baltimore, where he played soccer, according to the New York Post. Upon graduating, he said he intended to study artificial intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania.
Social media accounts believed to belong to Mangione paint him as an anti-capitalist who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski that blasted the medical community.
Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that he subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes online, as well as raged against the state of healthcare in the U.S.
Mangione had a "manifesto" on his person when he was taken into custody, according to a report.
Police have been hunting since Wednesday for the man who executed 50-year-old Thompson as he was heading to an investors' meeting at the New York Hilton in Manhattan.
The executive was transported six blocks away to Mount Sinai West hospital and pronounced dead just as the conference was getting underway at 8 a.m.
Leading up to the shooting, the suspect seemed to be “lying in wait” for Thompson, with several witnesses spotting a man matching Magione’s description on the premises around 6 a.m.
Thompson’s wife Paulette told NBC News that her husband had received several recent threats.
“Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage? I don’t know details,” she said. “I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him.”

But an ex Ivy Leaguer... Where is more on that...It would SEEM he had a fairly privileged upbringing, what did his folks do for a living? I am quite curious. Seems to hate corporate America, I think many can identify with that but you still don't do this.
Liked things from the Unabomber, no big surprise really either is it. Seemed that type from early on.
We follow so much crime and many cases that I remind myself, to cross and threshhold and actually murder, is a very serious choice being made that most would never make. Some do though...
A tech wizard. Have they found who hacked the healthcare big company? Almost expecting a gamer too. Dark web maybe. Living in parents' basement? I mean seriously, we have certainly seen it.
Doesn't mean it is the case here. I hope he enjoyed his last egg mcmuff or Big Mac or whatever it was.
I haven't done much online even and definitely not SM but I don't doubt there's a lot of talk about health care and big insurance, etc. It definitely is not good. My ins. out of paycheck just went up 10+ bucks. Weekly. Might not sound like much but it is when you already lose how much out of it and work over a 40 most weeks.
Haven't even used it to know if much good but sure pay for it.
Taxes, SS, you name it. All against the little average person.
I'm no fan.
But I would never kill.
I'm human. I've had moments in life I've wished someone dead, etc. but it is a belief in God that would never let me do such.
Better leave that there but I also value my freedom.
I think it is why in every case or many we talk and some thing the person must be insane or have mental health problems when they intentionally kill, because it is not a choice MOST of us would make. Imo in most, they are not legally insane or incompetent but they definitely lack boundaries, are all about self, don't have empathy, or something... I am talking of planned and intentional, not self defense or just doing something dumb and someone ends up dead. Like in Read. Some others.
Then take something like SKs. They would of course seem to have something very wrong.
But as @Mel70 would say and I see you tagged or responded to her earlier, it's not an excuse. I am really worried now because this made big news and he was from MN (the victim). I'd think she'd be commenting.
Anyhow just my thoughts at the moment.
I'm going through corporate America recently and such was even said to me...By one manager...
It is real b.s. but still you don't kill. They may not care if you or yours live or die and i'm guessing but don't know that that's park of the talk out there, get care, starve and so on.
Well, those are my thoughts. Haven't even watched much YT today or anything.
Guessing it's being covered there though.
In all cases, and we often never find out, one of the biggest things I am interested in is their life, the family, the family dynamic, etc. I DO think many are lacking something. Empathy would be a big one, but even IF they have it, selfishness or rage takes over. Spoiled and selfish often the case, and as I say a lot never learned to adult.
But also beliefs. And right and wrong. No matter what one believes, having some core values and morals is what would stop me from doing wrong, well major wrong. I can't say I'm not human. Lol. Certainly not perfect.
Anyhow, this guy seems like a type already we've sure seen before and a type I do NOT understand. Never will.
However, I am waiting to hear the motive and if anyone he cared about was actually hurt by some insurance denial.
He will also be imo part of some online group, and not a good one necessarily.
The Monopoly money is weird. I don't see him ever sitting down and playing a board game with his parents or siblings. But perhaps I'm wrong.
I'd guess pretty competitive if he ever did.
I sure don't know, just sharing my thoughts on what is coming out.
STill expecting him to also be someone who never "launched" or really "adulted".
I am waiting to hear more re his life, living situation, etc. More posts are probably on here since I have been sporadically typing this.
One last thing I'd say is this exact thing could have happened to someone else but of course it's taken up because it was a big time exec, NYC, etc. That's pretty sad in itself. News would ignore someone else even in the same spot, walking along.
Anywho...
Enough from me.
I still expect him to be a "basement" dweller.

He got a Lion King Happy Meal? Or was this from before on his SM or something? I wouldn't know.
Anyone thinking PA is where he's from, OR is it known and it's elsewhere?
Also that McD employee had BETTER get the rewards.

The gamer thing I am so not surprised and predicted. Not trying to be right or anything we have just always seen the types imo. The Unabomber thing and indoctrination I haven't read much about yet about but figured an internet history, group, even dark web. Just seemed the type. An ebike. All of it. A hostel even. Now as could be expected (didn't most expect it-- politics.)
Is the U of PA supposed to be an Ivy League School or was the high school considered that, How long has he ever held any job....
Sounds like a poor little rich boy.
Sounds like he graduated from even university so is the former article about ex Ivy League student meaning something else?
AI, tech etc.
Read the last couple of links.
The eyebrows lol have me thinking he might be related to a couple of people, I will leave that there lol.
A number of fake IDs, You name it, Has he ever lived in one place long, or held a job long...
Doesn't seem to be confirmed yet if Peter's son, etc. But sure sounding like as if from a rich background,
Well now he's done it, killed. Had a manifesto and so on.
Smh. I can't even fathom people like this.
He fixed nothing and won't, did he think he would...
He doesn't seem the type that's going to do well incarcerated.
Made his a statement--apparently to no avail.
Killed a man who may be an arsehole or a good person or both and for what...
Seems like an idiot to me. But said to be smart. Smh.
He thought out the crime and the steps but did he think out the rest of his life...
I'm sure more will come out as to the why...
Still wondering about the Monopoly money.
Well I guess it's been the news of the week along with Hannah.
Interesting but for me both types of cases are irritating me. Hey we have HI and CA in both or am I getting that wrong... OH and NYC, Hannah was allegedly going there to go to a museum to get famous, etc... ALL THREE.
These "kids" are travelers I guess, familiar with various states.

UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect Luigi Mangione charged with 5 crimes in Pennsylvania
Luigi Mangione, who was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, is a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police said.

UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect Luigi Mangione charged with 5 crimes in Pennsylvania
Luigi Mangione is in custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania, as a suspect in the brazen Midtown Manhattan murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompsonlast week, according to authorities.Mangione, a 26-year-old from Maryland, has been arrested by Altoona police on unrelated charges, according to authorities.
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections released Mangione's mug shot on Monday evening.
He has been charged with five crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities and possessing "instruments of crime," according to a newly released criminal complaint.
The charging document alleges that Mangione lied about his identity to police and carried the ghost gun without a license.
Charges could be filed against Mangione in the homicide as early as Monday or Tuesday, authorities said. Investigators are working to determine whether anyone else was involved in Thompson's death.
Mangione was on a Greyhound bus traveling through Altoona on Monday morning, sources said, when he got off and walked into a McDonald's where a witness recognized him from the images of the suspect circulated by police.
Mangione also had a three-page handwritten document "that speaks to his motivation and mindset," Tisch said.
"It does seem that he had some ill will toward corporate America," police said.
Police also recovered clothes, including a mask, "consistent with those worn by our wanted individual," Tisch said.
