Luigi Mangione’s motive for the alleged killing of former UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is now clear following recent disclosure.
Mangione’s trial is drawing nearer in the wake of his arrest in December, and more information has come out suggesting there was real intent behind Thompson’s shooting, with his manifesto being entered into public record.
The manifesto, which was made public following a court filing by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, details Mangione’s contempt for the insurance industry, which he refers to as an entity that “extracts human life force for money.”
Mangione is understood to have been keen on making a huge public statement, but didn’t want to cause mass casualties either. In one segment, he explains why he refused to use a bomb, as it would make him a terrorist.
“So say you want to rebel against the deadly, greed fueled health insurance cartel. Do you bomb the HQ? No. Bombs=terrorism,” he’s said to have written.

The manifesto was reportedly written up around six weeks before Thompson was killed in broad daylight on a Manhattan Street. The shooter successfully fled the scene, but Luigi Mangione was apprehended as the suspect in Pennsylvania five days later.
He is said to have been caught with the weapon used in the incident, the manifesto, and several fake ID cards.
The 26-year-old is now awaiting trial and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, without bail.
His next court date is on June 26.
Mangione is also facing a federal trial in which the federal government will look to impose the death penalty if he is found guilty. That trial is expected to begin next year.
