<p>Luigi Mangione, the man suspected of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week, was not insured by Thompson&#8217;s company, according to the health insurer&#8217;s owner, UnitedHealth Group.</p>
<p>UnitedHealth Group, the largest healthcare organization in the U.S., said it has no record of 26-year-old Mangione being a client, NBC News <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/suspect-in-ceo-s-killing-was-not-insured-by-unitedhealthcare-company-says/ar-AA1vLW3U?apiversion=v2&amp;noservercache=1&amp;domshim=1&amp;renderwebcomponents=1&amp;wcseo=1&amp;batchservertelemetry=1&amp;noservertelemetry=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The suspected assassin allegedly mentioned &#8220;United&#8221; in a manifesto raging about the health insurance industry before Thompson was gunned down in Midtown Manhattan on December 4. New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told NBC News that Mangione &#8220;possibly&#8221; targeted UnitedHealthcare because of its size.</p>
<p>“We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth-largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America,” Kenny said. “So that’s possibly why he targeted that company.”</p>
<p>According to Kenny, Mangione seemingly sustained &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/healthcare/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-member-targeted-company-size-influence-nypd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a life-changing injury</a>&#8221; in July 2023, which caused him to go to the emergency room. After turning 26, Mangione would have been forced off his parents&#8217; health insurance if he was not already covered under his own plan. Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/healthcare/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-member-targeted-company-size-influence-nypd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Mangione&#8217;s mother was also not a member of UnitedHealthcare.</p>
<p>&#8220;He posted X-rays of screws being inserted into his spine,&#8221; Kenny said. &#8220;So, the injury that he suffered was, was a life-changing, life-altering injury, and that&#8217;s what may have put him on this path.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reddit posts reportedly authored by Mangione in 2023 convey that the suspect was pleased with a back surgery he said he underwent, and said that it relieved him of his chronic pain, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/luigi-mangione-back-surgery-mental-health-35086d2e01089f53db7b95e7b6c683e4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>. In the posts, Mangione even encouraged others struggling with similar issues to consider surgery. Mangione reportedly lost touch with family members and friends around six months ago.</p>
<p>The suspected assassin&#8217;s mother filed a missing persons report with San Francisco police just weeks before Thompson was killed in New York City, the San Francisco Standard <a href="https://sfstandard.com/2024/12/09/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-sfpd-missing-person-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Mangione worked in San Francisco for a short time before moving to Honolulu, Hawaii. In social media posts, he also referenced visiting Japan earlier this year. San Francisco police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/san-francisco-police-identified-suspect-in-brian-thompson-murder-days-before-he-was-caught" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> Mangione as the person of interest sought by the NYPD four days before he was identified after his arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania, sources told the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/luigi-mangione-sfpd-identification-19976578.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chronicle</a>.</p>
<p>A spiral notebook authorities say was found on Mangione when he was arrested. It includes a passage where the writer mentions taking out “the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention.”</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1733885540339000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3AN1vxuvN8UmdriyXYDBvs"><b>CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</b></a></p>
<p>“It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents,” Mangione allegedly wrote in the notebook.</p>
<p>Shell casings found at the scene of the assassination had the words &#8220;delay,&#8221; &#8220;deny,&#8221; and &#8220;depose&#8221; written on them. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Wednesday that a water bottle and Kind snack bar wrapper recovered by police near the crime scene contained fingerprints that match those of Mangione. Tisch also noted that three shell casings recovered at the scene of the crime matched the homemade gun found on Mangione when he was arrested.</p>
