The suspected killer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is the heir to a holiday resort fortune\u00a0created by his grandparents<\/span>\u00a0– and the brother of a top doctor.<\/p>\n

Luigi Mangione, 26, comes from a powerful\u00a0Maryland<\/span>\u00a0family centered on the late patriarch\u00a0Nicholas Mangiano, a first-generation American who built a real estate empire in the state, including country clubs and media.<\/p>\n

Nicholas, who died in 2008 aged 83 after suffering a stroke, was the owner of Turf Valley Resort and Hayfields Country Club, as well radio station WCBM-AM.<\/p>\n

Nicholas was born in Baltimore’s Little\u00a0Italy<\/span>\u00a0to a poor family but worked his way up from nothing. He also founded the nursing home Lorien Health Services. Luigi volunteered at his grandpa’s nursing home in 2014, according to his LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

Nicholas had 10 children, including Luigi’s father Louis, and was married to his wife Mary until his death. The couple lived in a $1.9 million mansion on their country club, with Mary dying in 2013.<\/p>\n

Luigi Mangione is also the cousin of Republican Maryland House of Delegates member Nino Mangione,\u00a0The Baltimore Sun\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Luigi’s mother Kathleen Zannino Mangione, owns a boutique travel company, and his sister\u00a0MariaSanta Mangione is a respected doctor.<\/p>\n

She now works as a medical resident at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas after graduating from Vanderbilt medical school.<\/p>\n

Luigi Mangione is being\u00a0held at a jail in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after the UnitedHealthcare CEO was shot dead on the streets of Manhattan after his arrest Monday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was detained at McDonald\u2019s in Altoona,\u00a0Pennsylvania<\/span>\u00a0just after 9am ET on firearm charges after an employee at the store called police.<\/p>\n

Luigi’s mother Kathleen Zannino Mangione owns a boutique travel company specializing in the Mediterranean<\/p>\n

Prior to his death, the patriarch of the Mangione family, Nicholas, was very proud of his roots, as he told The Baltimore Sun in 1995: ‘They asked me what family I belonged to. I told them, “I belong to the Mangione family. The Mangione family of Baltimore County”.’<\/p>\n

He and his wife Mary shared 37 grandchildren together, including Luigi.<\/p>\n

Luigi’s family has an extensive background in the medical field, as they repeatedly donated to hospitals, nursing homes and even ran their own foundations.<\/p>\n

For decades, the Mangione family has supported the Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), donating more than $1million to the hospital,\u00a0The Baltimore Banner\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

All 37 of Nicholas’s grandchildren – including Luigi – were born in the hospital since 1983.<\/p>\n

One grandchild, Victoria Smith, said: ‘It becomes subconscious. Delivering at GBMC is not even a thought,’ according to a\u00a02022 blog post.<\/p>\n

Because of the family’s dedicated support, the hospital went on to name its high-risk obstetrics unit after them.<\/p>\n

In addition to funding GBMC, the family has also shared their philanthropy efforts with other top-name medical facilities, including the Kennedy Krieger Institute, the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Luigi<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Luigi Mangione’s great-grandfather founded the nursing home Lorien Health Services. Luigi volunteered at the nursing home in 2014, according to his Linked In<\/p>\n

Nicholas even opened up his very own medical building, Harford County’s Fallston General Hospital, after serving in the Navy, attending college and working as a contractor, according to The Sun.<\/p>\n

Though that hospital has since closed its doors, Nicholas proceeded to expand his\u00a0 portfolio, opening up nursing homes, office buildings, and Turf Valley Resort.<\/p>\n

The Mangione family purchased the first-ever full-service resort and conference center in Howard County in 1978.<\/p>\n

It contains 220 hotel rooms, a 10,000 square-foot ballroom, 85-seat amphitheater, among other features, according to\u00a0its website.<\/p>\n

In 1986, the couple bought the Hayfield Country Club, a wedding and gold venue, also located in Maryland.<\/p>\n

Nicholas then purchased the conservative radio talk show WCBM-AM 680 two years later, along with two more after that.<\/p>\n

The family’s patriarch, the late Nicholas Mangiano, was the owner of Turf Valley Resort, pictured, and Hayfields Country Club, as well as the radio station at the WCBM-AM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The pair also founded their very own senior living company and nursing home, Lorien Health Services, where Luigi volunteered in high school, according to his LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

By 1995, the patriarch revealed his plans to start passing down the family enterprise to his two eldest sons, John and Louis – Luigi’s father.<\/p>\n

Nicholas died of a stroke in 2008 and his wife Mary died last year from complications with Parkinson’s disease.<\/p>\n

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed on Monday afternoon that Mangione was in possession of the gun, silencer and a fraudulent New Jersey ID.<\/p>\n

The gun is suspected of being a ‘ghost gun’ made using a 3D printer so it cannot be traced.<\/p>\n

The ID matched the one the suspected killer used to check into a NYC hostel on November 24.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Nicholas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nicholas Mangiano lived in the above $1.9million home when he died, which was located within the bounds of his country club<\/p>\n

He was also found with a manifesto – which allegedly showed he was irate about the healthcare industry and its profits.<\/p>\n

According to Tisch, 26-year-old Mangione also had clothing on him that matched the gunman’s clothing.<\/p>\n

A McDonald’s worker called the police after recognized Mangione from his images of him that had been widely circulated following the shooting.<\/p>\n

Mangione is originally from Towson, Maryland, and is an anti-capitalist who attended Baltimore’s elite $40,000-a-year Gilman School, where he graduated\u00a0valedictorian in 2016.<\/p>\n

He then attended the Ivy league University of Pennsylvania where he studied software engineering. After completing his studies, he worked as software engineer at TrueCar, a Santa Monica, California-based online car market.<\/p>\n

He stopped working there in February 2023. He is also believed to have suffered a spinal injury the same year, and on his X account is what appears to be an x-ray for his surgery.<\/p>\n

He has not been charged in connection to the death of Thompson, but was angry at the way the medical insurance industry treated a sick relative, police sources said.<\/p>\n

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed outside Manhattan’s Hilton Hotel on Wednesday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He grew up in considerable comfort in an $800,000 home in Towson, Maryland, where his parents still live.<\/p>\n

The musclebound suspect also has ties to San Francisco, and used to live in Honolulu, Hawaii, cops confirmed.<\/p>\n

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed on Monday afternoon that Mangione was in possession of a gun, silencer and a fraudulent New Jersey ID.<\/p>\n

The ID matched the one the suspected killer used to check into a NYC hostel on November 24.<\/p>\n

He was also found with a manifesto – which allegedly showed he was irate about the healthcare industry and its profits.<\/p>\n

According to Tisch, 26-year-old Mangione also had clothing on him that matched the gunman’s clothing.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner thanked the public for their help, saying: ‘We should never underestimate the power of the public to be our eyes and ears.’<\/p>\n

‘He had ill will against corporate America,’ he said of Mangione.<\/p>\n

\"Footage<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Footage of the attack shows a figure, who appears to be a woman dressed in dark clothing and holding a coffee cup, fleeing from a doorway as the assassin opens fire just meters away.<\/p>\n

Kenny said that the ‘ghost’ gun he allegedly used to kill Brian Thompson may have been made with a 3D printer.<\/p>\n

Thompson was gunned down outside a Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan at 6:44am on Wednesday December 4.<\/p>\n

The doomed CEO had arrived in the city to host UnitedHealthcare’s annual investor meeting, where he was set to detail bumper profits.<\/p>\n

Harrowing surveillance camera footage showed Thompson being shot at point blank range by three bullets.<\/p>\n

Afterwards the shell casings were found to have the words ‘deny,’ ‘defend’, ‘depose’ written on them, in an apparent attack on health industry practices.<\/p>\n

Thompson lived in a $1 million mansion in Minnetonka, Minnesota, a mile from the home of wife Paulette, from whom he was separated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
