Accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione has a message for his fans, supporters and admirers: Please stop sending so many photos.
Mangione, 26, has apparently received so many photos while detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center that his defense team addressed them on a website.
“Luigi appreciates the photos that are sent and kindly asks that people send no more than five photos at a time,” the update reads. “Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”
Mangione, a Maryland native, is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel on Dec. 4, 2024. He faces charges in federal and New York state court in connection with the murder, along with Pennsylvania charges related to his five days on the run.
In part due to widespread frustration with the American health care industry, Mangione has received an outpouring of support from people across the country. At a routine hearing last Friday at Manhattan Supreme Court, dozens of Mangione supporters gathered outside the courtroom.
“I am overwhelmed by — and grateful for — everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support,” Mangione said in a message on his homepage. “While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive.”
