The murder remains under investigation.

Joseph Kenny, Chief of Detectives at the New York Police Department, reported that Mangione suffered a life-altering back injury.

Kenny suggested that Mangione may have targeted Thompson due to UnitedHealthcare’s prominence.

“We have no indication he was a client, but he mentions it being the fifth-largest corporation in the U.S.,” Kenny stated.

“This makes it the largest healthcare organization in the country,” he added.

Mangione was arrested on Monday at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

He was identified based on photos circulated by the police.

During the arrest, authorities recovered a firearm and a silencer.

They also seized a handwritten document and a notebook.

The three-page document reportedly contained the phrase, “These parasites simply deserved it,” according to police sources.

Two sources mentioned that the notebook included writings about attacking a CEO.

Social media posts appeared to show Luigi Mangione discussing persistent back pain.
