Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man charged in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had to be restrained by multiple law enforcement officers as he tried to speak to reporters on his way to his extradition hearing on Tuesday.

As Mangione was being escorted into the building for his extradition hearing at Blair County Courthouse in Pennsylvania, Mangione shouted, “It’s completely [inaudible] and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.” NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entin reported that Mangiono said, “It’s completely an injustice,” but it’s difficult to decipher the exact quote.

WATCH:

Mangione was charged with second-degree murder after being nabbed at a McDonald’s by police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday. The suspect is set to be extradited to New York pending his hearing. He faces the second-degree murder charge, along with charges of possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a forged instrument, and criminal possession of a weapon.

A law enforcement source told CNN that the suspect was found with a manifesto in which he raged against healthcare companies and specifically called out “United. ” A senior law enforcement official told The New York Times that Mangione accuses UnitedHealthcare of prioritizing profit over patients.

The suspect attended the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school where he received a degree in computer science. After college, Mangione spent a short time as a head counselor at a pre-college program at Stanford University and then moved to Hawaii in 2022.

In Hawaii, he worked remotely and lived at a co-working and co-living space in Honolulu, his former roommate R.J. Martin told CNN. According to Martin, Mangione had a surfing accident which put him “in bed for about a week.” Martin added that Mangione said he had a misaligned spine.

The suspected killer communicated frequently with family and friends until around six months ago when people close to him stopped hearing from him, The New York Times reported. It appears that none of Mangione’s relatives knew of his whereabouts until he was arrested in Pennsylvania on Monday and charged with murder.
