Luigi Mangione’s Family Reacts To Arrest In Brian Thompson Case: ‘Praying For You’

Luigi Mangione, who was arrested on Monday in connection to the Brian Thompson shooting, will be questioned by NYPD detectives on Monday. The 26-year-old former Ivy League student’s sister reacted to his arrest, with his sister uploading a photo with him on her Instagram story. “Praying For You,” she wrote along with a white heart emoji.

She has now made her account private, and the story cannot bee seen. All of Mangione’s Instagram photos also appear to be deleted. A pop up message now says “something went wrong”.

This comes hours after Altoona police first detained Mangione, questioning him about UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s case at a McDonald’s outlet. The 26-year-old was found with a ghost gun, a manifesto-like letter and some fake IDs with him. He was arrested on a gun charge.

Meanwhile, UnitedHealth thanked law enforcement for apprehending Mangione. “Our hope is that today’s apprehension brings some relief to Brian’s family, friends, colleagues, and the many others affected by this unspeakable tragedy,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement Monday.

“We thank law enforcement and will continue to work with them on this investigation. We ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy as they mourn,” the statement added.
