Luigi Mangione wrote in a manifesto that he found health care executives to be “parasites who deserved it.”
The 26-year-old man was arrested Monday at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s after a worker alerted authorities about a customer who resembled the alleged gunman.
He has since been charged with the murder of UnitedHeathCare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan.
Mangione’s family released a statement after his arrest, saying they were shocked and devastated.
“Unfortunately we cannot comment on the news about Luigi Mangione,” the Mangione family said. “We only know what we have read in the media.
‘Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and ask people to pray for everyone involved.’
Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer.
One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978.
