Luigi Mangione, who has been detained as a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, previously worked as a data engineer at TrueCar until 2023.
The man detained by law enforcement as a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson worked as a software engineer at TrueCar. Luigi Mangione, 26, was detained in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after he was spotted at a McDonald's location. An employee reportedly recognized him from the manhunt that began last week after Thompson was murdered on a New York City street on Dec. 4.
Mangione's page indicated that he worked with a variety of technologies and built data platforms for handling lease and loan payments, pricing information as well as related visualizations. It notes that he rose from a data engineer I at the start of his tenure to a data engineer III as of Oct. 2022.
Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference on Monday that the "suspect was in a McDonald's and was recognized by an employee who then called local police." "Responding officers questioned the suspect, who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport. Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on his person as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.
Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters at the same press conference, "We don't think that there's any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document, but it does seem that he has some, some ill will toward corporate America.
