A 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from Maryland was arrested at a McDonald’s in the killing of Brian Thompson
While the motive of this shooting is still unknown, early evidence suggests Mangione’s alleged actions could have been a political act. In addition to carrying a gun, a silencer, and other items, Mangione was found to have been in possession of a handwritten, three-page “manifesto” criticizing health insurance companies for putting profits above care, according to senior law enforcement officials., on suspicion of being involved in last week’s shooting of Thompson.
Mangione was found carrying identification with his name on it, along with a fake New Jersey ID – the same that the man believed to be the gunman showed when he checked into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on 24 November. The suspect worked as a data engineer, according to his LinkedIn page. He lists himself as having both as bachelor’s and master of science engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.. He is also believed to have taken a Greyhound when he arrived in New York City 10 days prior to the shooting.in 2016, where he had expressed his desire to study at the University of Pennsylvania. He was quoted as a video game enthusiast and eventually joined the university’s video game club.
Per the suspect’s social media presence, he appears to have been an active poster up until May or June of 2024 before his activity tapered off. He was also particularly active on Goodreads, where he previously liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski. Mangione was born and raised in Maryland and has lived in San Francisco and Honolulu. He has no prior arrest history in New York.
