What drove 26-year-old from a life of extraordinary promise to an alleged act of shocking violence is a story of physical pain, mental anguish, and festering resentment toward corporate America
Once a celebrated Ivy League graduate and math prodigy, Luigi Mangione now stands accused of the brutal assassination of multi-millionaire insurance CEO Brian Thompson.

Chilling and articulate, it painted a picture of a man consumed by anger and disillusionment, seeking to lash out at what he saw as the root of society's ills. He reportedly wrote that he acted alone and that he was self-funded.
After committing the murder, Mangione slipped out of New York City, using disguises and fake identification to evade capture for nearly a week. Officials believe that Thompson's choice as a target was no accident. As the CEO of one of America's largest healthcare providers, Thompson represented an industry Mangione reportedly blamed for systemic failures over non-payment of medical claims.
Following the arrest, his distraught family issued a statement saying they were shocked and devastated. "Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione," they 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 we ask people to pray for all involved.
X-rays posted on his social media accounts revealed a misaligned spine, and a subsequent surgery to address the issue reportedly went awry. Friends and former classmates claim that the botched procedure left Mangione in chronic pain and contributed to his mental decline. "This wasn't the Luigi we knew," one classmate said. "He went from being brilliant and driven to absolutely crazy in the last year.
