uigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, comes from a prominent Maryland real estate family. His grandfather, Nicholas Mangione, was a multimillionaire developer who owned a resort and country club in suburban Maryland. The patriarch had 10 children and 37 grandchildren, several of whom manage the family's real estate holdings.

    Nicholas Mangione founded Lorien Health Services, a nursing home and assisted living company with nine locations, which is still run by the family. His son Pete, Luigi's uncle, remains general manager at Turf Valley Resort and Conference Center, which was built by the family in 1978. The family also owns several other businesses, including hotels and subdivisions.

    Luigi Mangione's arrest came after an employee recognized him eating at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He was acting suspiciously and carrying fraudulent IDs when confronted by officers. A search of his person revealed a firearm, suppressor, and clothing consistent with the murder scene. A handwritten document recovered from him expressed frustration with companies that "abuse our country for immense profit," including UnitedHealthcare.

    The document, described as a 262-word manifesto, also mentioned Luigi's personal struggles, including a spinal condition that he claimed prevented romantic relationships. However, police alleged that he ran from the murder scene and then rode a bicycle to Central Park.
