Suspect Charged in Killing of CEO Thompson

News summary

The New York Police Department confirmed that the gun belonging to suspect Luigi Mangione, 26, matched shell casings found at the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's shooting. Fingerprints from Mangione were also linked to a water bottle and a Kind bar near the crime scene, which he reportedly purchased at a nearby coffee shop. Mangione, charged with second-degree murder, expressed disdain for corporate greed in writings found with him, including a letter that criticized health insurance companies and suggested a personal motive tied to an emergency room visit in July 2023. Authorities recovered a notebook and a letter containing further insights into his motives, but specifics were not disclosed. Mangione is currently in custody in Pennsylvania, resisting extradition to New York. The investigation continues as police analyze additional evidence, including a fingerprint from a cellphone found at the scene.
