Here is where UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect worked

The man detained by law enforcement as a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson worked as a software engineer at TrueCar.

Luigi Mangione, 26, was detained in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after he was spotted at a McDonald’s location. An employee reportedly recognized him from the manhunt that began last week after Thompson was murdered on a New York City street on Dec. 4.

According to Mangione’s LinkedIn, he has worked as a data engineer for TrueCar and started his tenure there in November 2020 in Santa Monica, California. TrueCar provides pricing and online retailing services to car buyers and auto dealerships and connects dealers to communicate with potential customers in the market for a new or used car.

A spokesperson for TrueCar confirmed to FOX Business that Mangione has not been an employee since 2023.

SUSPECT DETAINED IN MANHUNT FOR UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON’S KILLER

Mangione’s page indicated that he worked with a variety of technologies and built data platforms for handling lease and loan payments, pricing information as well as related visualizations. It notes that he rose from a data engineer I at the start of his tenure to a data engineer III as of Oct. 2022.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference on Monday that the “suspect was in a McDonald’s and was recognized by an employee who then called local police.”

“Responding officers questioned the suspect, who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport. Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on his person as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.”

“They also recovered clothing, including a mask consistent with those worn by our wanted individual. Also recovered was a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching the ID our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting incident,” Tisch said. “Additionally, officers recovered a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset.”

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters at the same press conference, “We don’t think that there’s any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document, but it does seem that he has some, some ill will toward corporate America.”
