Who is Luigi Mangione? Suspect arrested in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing.
Mangione, charged in the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing, belongs to a prominent Maryland business family. Those who knew him recalled him as smart and well liked.
His grandfather Nicholas “Nick” Mangione Sr., who died in 2008, was a businessman and real estate developer. He and his wife, Mary, acquired Turf Valley Country Club in Ellicott City, Maryland, in 1978. About 20 years later, they founded Hayfields Country Club in Cockeysville, Maryland. Mary Mangione served on the board of the Baltimore Opera and as president of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, a women’s organization, her 2023 obituary said.

Prosecutors had been considering whether to make this move for several weeks, and have officially decided to oppose any dismissal on several grounds.
First, prosecutors argue that the Manhattan court should reject Trump’s motion to immediately dismiss the case given the fact that he has not yet been sworn in and does not enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution while President-elect.
