Luigi Nicholas Mangione was born in Towson, Maryland, on May 6, 1998. He is the son of Kathleen and Louis Mangione and belongs to a prominent Maryland family known for their real estate and philanthropy. He attended Gilman School, an all-boys private secondary school in Baltimore, where he graduated as valedictorian in 2016. He pursued higher education at the Ivy League institution, University of Pennsylvania, graduating cum laude and receiving both a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in computer engineering and a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in computer and information science in 2020. His undergraduate studies included a minor in mathematics, and his graduate curriculum concentrated on artificial intelligence.

Mangione began to work remotely in November 2020 as a data engineer for TrueCar, a car retailing website company headquartered in Santa Monica, California. His employment there ended at some point during 2023, according to the company. His last known residence was in Honolulu, Hawaii. In November 2024, Mangione was reported missing by his mother, who said the family had not heard from him since July of that year. It was around the same time during the summer of 2024 that Mangione stopped posting on social media. Mangione's mother contacted the San Francisco Police Department, as she believed that Mangione lived in San Francisco and still worked for TrueCar (which had an office in San Francisco).

Arrest and charges

Local police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, arrested 26-year-old Mangione on December 9, 2024, at a McDonald's restaurant in the city. An employee there called the police to say that a customer recognized the suspect from images released by the NYPD. Altoona is about 280 miles (450 km) west of New York City. In his bag they found a 3D-printed gun and a 3D-printed suppressor, which the police claim are consistent with the weapon used in the shooting, and a falsified New Jersey driver's license with the same name as the one used by the alleged shooter to check into the Manhattan hostel. The police also said that when they arrested Mangione, they found a three-page, 262-word handwritten document about the American healthcare system, which they characterized as a manifesto.

Mangione was charged in Blair County, Pennsylvania, with carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities, and possessing "instruments of crime" on December 9, 2024. He was arraigned at around 6 p.m. at Blair County Courthouse and was denied bail. By the end of the day, he was charged in Manhattan with second-degree murder, three counts of illegal weapons possession, and forgery. He is currently being held in the State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, a close-security state correctional facility in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. He was denied bail for the second time on December 10, 2024, and through his Pennsylvania attorney, he indicated his intention to fight a prospective interstate extradition to New York. Mangione hired Karen Friedman Agnifilo, former prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and former legal analyst with CNN, as his New York case defense attorney on December 13.
