Earlier this month Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was assassinated in public. He was followed and then shot in the back by a man using a gun with a silencer. One of the people who was a suspect was Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old man. However, social media is not 100% convinced that he is the actual killer. Keep on reading to discover more about it.
Healthcare CEO gets killed by Ivy League graduate!
On December 4th, Luigi allegedly would have shot the CEO with a “ghost gun”, a 3D printed gun. After the murder, he would have left New York City. A couple of days later, a McDonalds worker in Altoona identified him. He acted strangely in the McDonalds, and one of the workers called the police on him. When the police arrived, he gave the same fake ID that was used to check into a Hostel in NYC a day before the shooting. Allegedly, they also found the “ghost gun” that matched the one from the crime.
An alleged transcript of one of his conversations has been circulating on the internet, where he gives reasons for his actions. However, most social media platforms are trying to keep a note of their platform. This is why we have included a screenshot of the transcript right here!
Luigi Mangione is getting support from the public.
The arrest of Luigi Mangione has gone viral on social media. While you might think that people are glad the “killer” is arrested and charged with murder, this is not the case. On social media, people are trying to debunk the fact that he is the killer based on the pictures made public by the police.
They’re also saying that he wouldn’t have any reason to kill Brian Thompson. Luigi has a high IQ, a nice job, and a degree in computer science from an Ivy League school. These people also claim that Luigi Mangione wasn’t the shooter and that he is just the fall guy for the person who killed Brian Thompson. Mangione is held without bail, and the police officers are trying to piece all their information together. Mangione’s lawyer says that the American system works by being innocent until proven guilty. He also said that Luigi would claim that he was innocent during his trial! In addition to this, Luigi’s lawyer also mentioned that he hadn’t seen a case or proof that pointed the finger at Luigi.
