Luigi Mangione has been indicted for first-degree murder just weeks after the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Luigi Mangione, a 46-year-old from New York, has been indicted for first-degree murder and an act of terrorism following the shooting of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. The incident occurred on January 15, 2023, when Mangione allegedly shot Thompson multiple times outside his office in Minneapolis. The indictment claims that Mangione's actions were motivated by his belief that UnitedHealthCare's policies had led to the death of his mother, who was denied coverage for a life-saving treatment. Mangione faces life imprisonment without the possibility of parole if convicted. The case has drawn significant attention due to its implications for corporate accountability and mental health issues related to healthcare policy decisions.
