Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing Said He 'Had It Coming,' According to Prosecutors

  • Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot on December 4, 2024, outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel just before a healthcare conference.
  • Authorities say Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League graduate from Maryland, planned the attack for months driven by political and ideological motives targeting the health insurance industry.
  • At the crime scene, bullet casings were engraved with words such as "deny," "delay," and "defend," symbolizing alleged industry tactics, while prosecutors presented Mangione’s diary entries that revealed his intent to provoke widespread reaction through the killing.
  • Mangione faces state charges including murder as terrorism with life without parole possible and federal charges where prosecutors seek the death penalty after his arrest in Pennsylvania following a five-day manhunt.
  • Thompson's killing intensified public and industry fear, sparked protests and threats against UnitedHealthcare staff, and contributed to a sharp drop in the company’s stock price and reputation.
