Luigi Mangione’s manifesto and gaming past revealed as he’s charged with UnitedHealthcare CEO murder: Live updates

The suspected gunman reportedly referenced UnitedHealthcare in the handwritten document found on him.

Luigi Mangione mentioned the $515.93 billion company in his manifesto noting the size of the company and how much money it makes, a senior law enforcement offical who saw the document told the New York Times.

In the 262-word handwritten manifesto, Mangione said as UnitedHealthcare’s market capitalization has grown, American life expectancy has not.

The document condemned companies that ‘continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.

He reportedly wrote that acted alone and that he was self-funded.

‘To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,’ Mangione said.

‘These parasites had it coming. I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.’

Mangione went from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh after the shooting, and likely ‘was in a variety of locations across the state,’ said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police.

‘Based on everything we have seen, he was very careful with trying to stay low profile, avoid cameras — not all that successfully in some cases, but that was certainly the effort he was making,’ Bivens said.

In the days since the shooting, police turned to the public for help by releasing a collection of nine photos and video — including footage of the attack, as well as images of the suspect at a Starbucks beforehand.

‘Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness,’ read one excerpt from a Kaczynski quote on Mangione’s Goodreads page.

‘The concept of “mental health” in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress,’ read another.

CNN reports that a Reddit account that matches Mangione’s personal details said he suffered from back pain related to spondylolisthesis – a condition where a vertebra in the spine slips out of place, usually in the lower back.

The user said the pain became worse after a surging accident.

‘My back and hips locked up after the accident,’ the user wrote in July 2023, saying that ‘intermittent numbness has become constant’ and ‘I’m terrified of the implications.’

Mangione apparently had surgery sometime late last year, but it’s unclear whether it helped his condition.

TikTok influencer @goobigubbi went viral in the wake of the assassination of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, with one clip garnering over 8.3 million views.

When the search for Mangione was still ongoing, the influencer shared a clip with his mom freaking out at him as he refused to change clothes that matched surveillance images shared by the NYPD.

Brian Thompson shooting suspect Luigi Mangione suffered a back injury so severe he was unable to have sex, a former roommate said.

RJ Martin lived with the murder defendant for six months at a Hawaii co-living space and told The New York Times about 26 year-old Mangione’s secret agony.

‘He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible,’ Mr Martin told The Times.

‘I remember him telling me that, and my heart just breaks.’

Piers Morgan was left in shock after gleeful former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz said she felt ‘joy’ following the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

On Monday night, Lorez joined Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, as the broadcaster questioned her about her controversial social media posts following Thompson being gunned down in Manhattan on Wednesday.

The suspected killer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is the heir to a holiday resort fortune created by his grandparents – and the brother of a top doctor.

Luigi Mangione, 26, comes from a powerful Maryland family centered on the late patriarch Nicholas Mangiano, a first-generation American who built a real estate empire in the state, including country clubs and media.

Nicholas, who died in 2008 aged 83 after suffering a stroke, was the owner of Turf Valley Resort and Hayfields Country Club, as well radio station WCBM-AM.

A false manifesto supposedly written by suspect Luigi Mangione is making the rounds online.

Police have not yet released Mangione’s manifesto, but said they found a two-page document on him at the time of his arrest.

The 262-word handwritten manifesto noted that UnitedHealthcare’s market capitalization has grown whole American life expectancy has not.

‘To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,’ he wrote, as reported by The New York Times.

It slams companies that ‘continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.’

A GiveSendGo page has raised over $6,000 of its $200,000 goal for alleged killer Luigi Mangione.

‘This is a preemptive legal fundraiser for the suspect allegedly involved in the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO,’ the page reads.

‘We are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right of fair legal representation.’

‘Please share in your networks!’

Luigi Mangione told his classmates they need ‘incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.’

Mangione had served as the valedictorian of Gilman School’s Class of 2016, which he praised in his speech for its ‘inventive [and] pioneering mentality.’

Gov. Josh Shapiro said suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione is ‘no hero’ following his court appearence.

‘In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint,’ Shapiro said.

‘He is no hero. The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning.’

Suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter has been in the Keystone State for ‘several days’ following the deadly attack, according to police.

Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said police are working to piece together where the suspect went following Brian Thompson’s assassination.

‘We know that he has been in Pennsylvania for several days, so part of that investigation will also focus on trying to retrace his steps,’ Bivens said.

Luigi Mangione was charged with murder by NYC officials for the shock execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

He was detained on Monday by police in Pennsylvania.

Mangione now faces three gun charges and forgery in New York.

He remains jailed in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police.

Mangione was arrested in an Altoona McDonald’s on Monday after cops ‘immediately recognized’ him as the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
