Luigi Mangione, raised in a wealthy Baltimore family, is the main suspect in the December 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A Gilman School valedictorian and University of Pennsylvania graduate, Mangione became reclusive after a 2023 back surgery. Reported missing by his mother on November 18, he was arrested on December 9, five days after the cr ime.

The Mangione family, known for owning Maryland country clubs and Lorien Health Services, is devastated by the allegations. His late grandmother’s will, which disinherits any grandchild accused of a felony, adds further complications. The family remains in shock.
