The police in the United States announced the arrest of a suspect in the murder of the CEO of United Insurance, identifying him as 26-year-old Luigi Mangioni. Jessica Tisch, the police commissioner of New York City, stated early Tuesday, December 20, that the suspect was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after someone recognized him from a McDonald's and reported it to the police. Last week, a video circulated on social media showing a masked individual shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Insurance, in Manhattan, causing him to fall to the ground. Following this, the police launched a search operation by releasing photos of the suspect. According to the New York police commissioner, the suspect was arrested with a firearm, a silencer, and clothing and a mask that matched the murder scene. The report also indicated that several fake identification cards and writings explaining his motives were found with the suspect. The New York Times quoted a senior police official stating that these writings were 'a critical manifesto against insurance companies for prioritizing profit over healthcare services.' Brian Thompson, the 50-year-old CEO of the well-known United Insurance, was shot dead last Wednesday outside a hotel in Manhattan by a masked man who appeared to be waiting for him.
