Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealth Group executive Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street this month, was accused of murderprosecutors said.
“This type of deliberate and targeted gun violence cannot and will not be tolerated,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
On December 9, Mangione was charged with murder in the death Thompson at the hotel door Manhattan before a corporate conference, after a five-day hunt.
According to his friends and social media posts, the defendant suffered from chronic back pain that affected his daily life, although it is unclear whether his personal health played a role in the crime.
Mangione was charged with first- and second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, according to prosecutors.
After his arrest, Mangione began receiving more than a thousand donations through online fundraising for his legal defense, with messages of support and even celebrations of the crime.
In New York, “Wanted” posters appeared on the walls with the faces of the heads of large companies. Websites sell products Mangionelike caps with “CEO Hunter” printed on the target. And some social media users were amazed by his smile and abs.
The crime he is accused of is widely condemned, but the photogenic 26-year-old, educated at… Ivy LeagueEdit —a group of eight major private universities in the United States and the most prestigious in the world– turned into an alarming mixture folk herocelebrities and internet enthusiasts in certain circles. His support appears to have strengthened since his arrest on Monday.
Most of the messages on the fundraising site GiveSendGo reflect the deep frustration of many citizens with the US health care system, in which some treatment and reimbursement may be denied patients based on their insurance coverage, as well as broader dissatisfaction with rising income inequality and rising executive pay.
“Denying people health insurance is murder, but no one has been charged with this crime,” one donor wrote, calling the killing “justifiable homicide.”
Others simply wrote “Deny, Defend, Claim” – words that were apparently written on shell casings found at crime scenes and were intended to be a tactic some have accused insurers of using to avoid paying claims.
As of Tuesday, December 17th, over $140,000 has been raised on GiveSendGo alone. (Reuters).
