"I apologize, but this parasite had to be eliminated..."/ What is known about the killer who shocked the USA?

The first thing a killer on the run does is get rid of any clues linking him to the murder. Luigi Mangione, arrested yesterday by the police at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, 400 kilometers from the Hilton in New York where last Wednesday he killed the head of United HealthCare, Brian Thompson, was carrying the gun and the silencer used in the murder.
He also had fake documents under 4 different names, including one he had registered at the hotel he slept in before killing CEO Brian Thompson and also an anti-capitalist political statement admitting to the murder.
"I apologize, but this parasite had to be eliminated...".
Thompson's killer was not a professional assassin, but a politically motivated extremist, an engineer with a brilliant academic record. He had a great love for technology. Perhaps this is also the reason why he hit his victim with a weapon made with a 3D printer. He did not try to flee the country as would have been reasonable.
The 26-year-old Italian born in Maryland, graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, who worked until 2023 as an engineer at TrueCar, a company in Santa Monica, California, knew that sooner or later he would be arrested, so he did not did nothing to hide.
In the statement he had with him, Mangione was careful to clarify that he had no accomplices: "I acted alone." As for the motive of this event, he mentioned political reasons, emphasizing his revolt against the inequalities of the capitalist system, which are particularly extreme and have the most serious social consequences in the non-public health system.
Then he added a personal motivation: a kind of revenge for the suffering of some of his relatives who were unable to receive proper treatment. Surely he is talking about himself here.
He does not come from a poor family. His grandfather is a real estate developer and enjoys a large fortune. He owns radio stations and several homes for the elderly, one of which is owned by Luigi's father, who, when he was sixteen, worked as a volunteer at one of these facilities.
In Baltimore Mangione attended Gilman, an excellent high school (where a year costs 40 thousand dollars). He graduated at the top of his class. In his public speech, he said that this school had given him incredible courage to explore unknown horizons, informs dreno.net.
Then he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and began his first work experiences as an engineer. He was known by all his friends as an open, sociable person, as a man who thought a lot. Promoter of the book club, active in social networks where he has commented on 300 books he has read or intended to read.
But everything changed six months ago, when Luigi suddenly disappeared from social networks and was no longer seen even with his family and friends. A mysterious turning point, certainly related to his approach to the philosophy of the anarchist terrorist Unabomber, which he praised in January by commenting on an old ideological manifesto of his on the website Goodreads.
Perhaps there is a traumatic fact, a physical trauma, that contributes to the transformation of a brilliant student into an avenger of health care managers. Luigi has suffered since childhood from the movement of several vertebrae in his spine.
Despite this, he trains and plays sports. He falls, hits his back, his pathology worsens. He was operated on last year. To friends who ask him how the operation went, he answers that it is a long story. At first, he says, he often felt numb, unable to lead a normal social life and have relationships. Then he disappears. He told the judge during questioning that he had no drug or mental health problems.
His arrest finally overturned theories of a killer, perhaps paid by other health care executives: United HealthCare is under investigation, and it appears that Thomson, who was also under investigation, had begun cooperating with authorities. The mystery of the missing gun has disappeared after the search at the bottom of the lakes of Central Park. The puzzle of the backpack found in the park, full of Monopoly game notes, has been cancelled. It remains to be seen how Mangione knew at what time and from which direction Thompson would enter the Hilton.
