A law firm’s request for records about plans to build a center for incarcerated women has led to a year-and-a-half-long saga that recently culminated in a lawsuit.
”This was a frightening, well-planned targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a news conference on Tuesday announcing that a grand jury had indicted Mangione on 11 counts including first-degree murder.
Mangione, 26, who’s facing charges in New York City Criminal Court including second-degree murder, has become a cause célèbre among anti-capitalists and those frustrated with the U.S. health care system.
Police and state officials are investigating a break-in last month at the Maryland Department of Health headquarters — an incident in which the intruder or intruders searched desks and drawers.
Police and prosecutors swiftly arrested and charged 26-year-old Luigi Mangione after a tip from a McDonald’s employee, but any rewards may take significantly more time to be released.
If police are right, Luigi Mangione will be remembered as a herald of 3D-printed gun violence, of a weapon spreading so fast it is outpacing ways we think of protecting ourselves.
The man charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was not a client of the medical insurer and may have targeted it because of its size and influence, a senior police official said Thursday.
