Suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooter Is NOT Under Suicide Watch At Maximum Security Prison

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is being held without bond at the Huntingdon State Correctional Institution in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections reported the 26-year-old is not under suicide watch.

However, Mangione is kept away from the general population and is being held in an isolated cell.

Currently, Mangione is being held on gun charges he received in Pennsylvania as New York authorities are in the process of extraditing him to New York to face murder charges.

However, he remains isolated from other inmates and is confined to a cell by himself. The department also confirmed that Mangione has not displayed any violent behavior since his detention.

Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on charges unrelated to the murder, and authorities are working on his extradition to New York, where he faces charges for the fatal shooting of Thompson on December 4 in Midtown Manhattan.

Per CBS:

A New York grand jury is beginning to hear evidence in the case against Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office started presenting the case Thursday, seeking to indict Mangione for the fatal shooting on Dec. 4 in Midtown Manhattan. The DA’s office declined to comment on the grand jury proceedings due to confidentiality.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she has spoken with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro multiple times to make sure Mangione is extradited quickly after he was arrested on unrelated charges in Altoona.

“I want to get him back here in the State of New York and run him through our criminal justice system. Because that horrific attack occurred on our streets, and the people of our city deserve to have that sense of calm that this perpetrator has been caught and he will never see the light of day again, if there is justice,” Hochul said in an interview Thursday morning. “You cannot assassinate an individual on the streets of New York. Not now, not ever.”
