? 26歲的盧吉·曼吉奧內(nèi)因涉嫌槍殺聯(lián)合健康保險(xiǎn)公司(UnitedHealthcare)首席執(zhí)行官布萊恩·湯普森被捕。他長(zhǎng)期飽受慢性背痛的折磨。在此期間,他與一些家人好友失去了聯(lián)系。
“嘿,你還好嗎?幾個(gè)月沒有你的消息了,你的家人正在找你。”據(jù)媒體報(bào)道,這是一位朋友在10月30日通過X發(fā)送給謀殺嫌疑人盧吉·曼吉奧內(nèi)的一條信息。后來,其賬戶被設(shè)定為私密賬戶。警方表示,一個(gè)多月后,曼吉奧內(nèi)涉嫌在紐約市的一條街道上尾隨聯(lián)合健康保險(xiǎn)公司首席執(zhí)行官布萊恩·湯普森,并從背后將其槍殺。
到好友發(fā)出這條消息時(shí),曼吉奧內(nèi)已經(jīng)有幾個(gè)月沒有聯(lián)系一些家人和朋友,他們不確定曼吉奧內(nèi)的行蹤。這段神秘的時(shí)期恰好是在曼吉奧內(nèi)接受了一次痛苦的背部手術(shù)之后。有多家媒體報(bào)道,這次手術(shù)讓曼吉奧內(nèi)一直備受折磨。
目前尚不確定曼吉奧內(nèi)接受的這次手術(shù)、杳無音訊的那段時(shí)間以及湯普森遇害之間是否存在關(guān)聯(lián);警方目前正在展開調(diào)查。
26歲的曼吉奧內(nèi)畢業(yè)于賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)(University of Pennsylvania),于2020年取得學(xué)士和碩士學(xué)位。從他的LinkedIn資料和X賬戶中的內(nèi)容,可以對(duì)他有大致了解。他的網(wǎng)絡(luò)賬戶在6月初還是活躍狀態(tài)。
在被認(rèn)為屬于曼吉奧內(nèi)的X賬戶中,橫幅圖片顯示了三張照片:一張是他光著上身在一條遠(yuǎn)足小徑上的自拍照,一張是《口袋妖怪》(Pokémon)里的角色Breloom,還有一張是脊椎的X光片,脊椎上打了四根釘子。
有消息人士對(duì)媒體表示,曼吉奧內(nèi)一直飽受背痛折磨。
R.J.馬丁與曼吉奧內(nèi)相識(shí)于2020年,當(dāng)時(shí)這名年輕男子正在檀香山為遠(yuǎn)程辦公者的共享住宿進(jìn)行面試。
馬丁創(chuàng)建了Surfbreak,按每個(gè)月約2,000美元收取共享住宿費(fèi)。他說曼吉奧內(nèi)是一位多才多藝、積極樂觀的工程師。
然而,據(jù)媒體報(bào)道,盡管曼吉奧內(nèi)住的地方號(hào)稱“沖浪者天堂”,但他卻無法參加這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。
馬丁解釋說:“他的脊椎有點(diǎn)錯(cuò)位。他說他的下椎骨幾乎脫落了半英寸,我認(rèn)為這壓迫了神經(jīng)?!?/p>
馬丁在接受《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)表示,這個(gè)問題在沖浪時(shí)變得更嚴(yán)重:“由于某些原因,他的背部不適合做彎腰和抬頭等動(dòng)作。他承受了巨大的疼痛。”
這種疼痛也影響了曼吉奧內(nèi)的個(gè)人生活。馬丁繼續(xù)說道:“他知道,背部的狀況導(dǎo)致自己不可能進(jìn)行約會(huì)和身體上的親密接觸。我記得他跟我說過這件事,我感到很難過?!?/p>
盡管如此,馬丁并不記得曼吉奧內(nèi)曾服用過任何止痛藥。馬丁表示,工程師曼吉奧內(nèi)還喜歡健身和攀巖,但他會(huì)小心翼翼地避免撞到脊椎。
馬丁在接受檀香山媒體Honolulu Civil Beat采訪時(shí)補(bǔ)充道,曼吉奧內(nèi)于2020年年中離開了Surfbreak,兩人經(jīng)常保持聯(lián)系,后來曼吉奧內(nèi)曾發(fā)給馬丁脊椎手術(shù)的照片。馬丁表示,他曾問過手術(shù)是否順利,曼吉奧內(nèi)回復(fù)了“一言難盡”,但沒有透露更多具體的細(xì)節(jié)。
馬丁表示,今年夏天,曼吉奧內(nèi)失去了音訊。他最后一次發(fā)信息給曼吉奧內(nèi),是從新聞里看到他之前。他詢問對(duì)方:“你到底在哪兒?”
曼吉奧內(nèi)明顯疏遠(yuǎn)朋友的做法,與他在老同學(xué)眼中的形象格格不入。
曼吉奧內(nèi)曾就讀于巴爾的摩的吉爾曼學(xué)校(Gilman School),這所學(xué)校最高年級(jí)的學(xué)費(fèi)為37,690美元。在同學(xué)們的印象中,曼吉奧內(nèi)為人友善且熱愛運(yùn)動(dòng)。
他的同班同學(xué)弗雷迪·萊瑟博雷對(duì)美聯(lián)社表示,即使按照這所私立學(xué)校的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),曼吉奧內(nèi)的家庭也堪稱家境優(yōu)渥。
曼吉奧內(nèi)的LinkedIn資料顯示,他當(dāng)前的工作單位是在線汽車銷售網(wǎng)站TrueCar,但該公司的發(fā)言人對(duì)《財(cái)富》雜志表示,曼吉奧內(nèi)從2023年起就不再擔(dān)任公司的工程師。
“體貼,富有同情心”
在僅限申請(qǐng)才能入住的夏威夷社區(qū)生活期間,曼吉奧內(nèi)與馬丁和來自紐約的食品技術(shù)專家杰基·韋克斯勒一起創(chuàng)辦了一個(gè)讀書俱樂部。
韋克斯勒對(duì)Honolulu Civil Beat表示,曼吉奧內(nèi)非常體貼,在讀書俱樂部里,他會(huì)認(rèn)真傾聽來推動(dòng)討論。
韋克斯勒補(bǔ)充道:“他做每件事情的時(shí)候都非常體貼,且富有同情心。”韋克斯勒曾與曼吉奧內(nèi)一起就讀于賓夕法尼亞大學(xué),但直到他們?cè)谙耐墓餐詈蟛懦蔀榕笥选?/p>
讀書俱樂部的閱讀書目包括蒂姆·厄本的《我們的問題是什么?》(What's Our Problem?)和史蒂夫·斯圖爾特-威廉姆斯的《理解宇宙的猿:心靈和文化如何進(jìn)化》(The Ape That Understood the Universe: How the Mind and Culture Evolve),前者被描述為一本社會(huì)自助書,后者探討了如何從其他物種的視角審視人類。
韋克斯勒和馬丁補(bǔ)充道,閱讀泰德·卡辛斯基(后來被稱為“大學(xué)航空炸彈客”)的宣言,最初只是一個(gè)玩笑,但后來卻因?yàn)檫@份宣言導(dǎo)致讀書俱樂部解散。
但曼吉奧內(nèi)似乎讀過這份宣言。今年1月,一個(gè)使用曼吉奧內(nèi)的名字和照片注冊(cè)的Goodreads賬號(hào),對(duì)西奧多·卡辛斯基臭名昭著的反技術(shù)評(píng)論《工業(yè)社會(huì)及其未來》(Industrial Society and Its Future)給出了四星評(píng)價(jià)。
曼吉奧內(nèi)寫道:“人們很容易迅速且不假思索地將其貶低為瘋子的宣言,只是為了逃避其中提出的一些令人不安的問題。但他對(duì)現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的許多預(yù)測(cè)頗有先見之明,這是不可忽視的。”
后來,曼吉奧內(nèi)的賬戶被設(shè)為私密,但據(jù)媒體曝光,他的賬戶中還包括一個(gè)有關(guān)背痛的閱讀清單。
近日,警方在賓夕法尼亞州阿爾圖納的一家麥當(dāng)勞(McDonald’s)內(nèi)將曼吉奧內(nèi)逮捕,事后這位常春藤盟校畢業(yè)生被指控在12月4日謀殺了醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)公司的老板湯普森。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

? Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old arrested in connection with the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, suffered with prolonged chronic back pain. The condition coincided with a period in which he stopped contacting some family and friends.
“Hey, are you ok? Nobody has heard from you in months, and apparently your family is looking for you.” That post on X was reportedly sent to murder suspect Luigi Mangione on Oct. 30 by a friend whose account has since been made private. A little more than a month later, Mangione calmly walked up to UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the street in New York City and shot Thompson in the back, police say.
By the time of the message on X, Mangione had gone several months without contacting some members of friends and family, who had become unsure of his whereabouts. The mysterious period coincided with the aftermath of a difficult back surgery that reportedly left Mangione in constant discomfort, multiple reports have said.
It’s not clear whether the surgery, Mangione’s period of silence, and the killing of Thompson are linked; police are investigating that right now.
An impression of Mangione, a 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate who earned a combined MA and BA in 2020, can be pieced together from his online presence, across both his LinkedIn profile and his X account—which was active until early June.
The banner image on the X account thought to belong to Mangione shows three pictures: the man himself shirtless on a hiking trail, a Pokémon character named Breloom, and an X-ray scan of a spine with four large pins held together at their heads.
Mangione had long suffered with a back injury, sources told media.
R.J. Martin met Mangione in 2020 when the young man was interviewing for shared accommodation for remote workers in Honolulu.
Martin founded Surfbreak, which charges around $2,000 a month for the shared quarters, and described Mangione as an accomplished and upbeat engineer.
Yet despite living in surfers’ paradise, Mangione reportedly struggled to enjoy the sport.
Martin explained, “His spine was kind of misaligned. He said his lower vertebrae were almost like a half-inch off, and I think it pinched a nerve.”
Speaking to the New York Times, Martin added the problem became worse while surfing: “For some reason, the motion—the arching, the looking up—was just the wrong thing for his back. He was in a lot of pain.”
The pain also impacted Mangione’s personal life, Martin continued: “He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible. I remember him telling me that, and my heart just breaks.”
That being said, Martin didn’t remember Mangione being on any type of pain medication. The engineer also enjoyed going to the gym and rock climbing, Martin added, though he would be careful of jarring his spine.
Speaking to the Honolulu Civil Beat, Martin added Mangione left Surfbreak in mid-2020 and the pair stayed in regular contact, with Mangione later texting over images of his spinal surgery. Martin said he questioned how the surgery had gone, and Mangione replied “l(fā)ong story” without any further details.
Then this summer Mangione went “radio silent,” Martin added. His last text to Mangione—before seeing him on the news—read, “Where in the world are you?”
Mangione’s apparent withdrawal from his friendships is at odds with the impression he left on former classmates.
A former student at Baltimore’s Gilman School, which charges $37,690 in tuition for its oldest students, Mangione is remembered by peers as friendly and athletic.
His classmate Freddie Leatherbury told the Associated Press that Mangione came from a wealthy family, even by the school’s standards.
Mangione’s LinkedIn profile lists his current workplace as TrueCar, an online car sales site, though a spokesperson for the company fold Fortune he hasn’t worked there as an engineer since 2023.
‘Thoughtful and deeply compassionate’
While living in the applications-only Hawaiian community, Mangione founded a book club alongside Martin and Jackie Wexler, a food technologist based in New York.
Wexler told the Honolulu Civil Beat that Mangione was thoughtful and facilitated conversations at the book club by listening carefully.
“He was just such a thoughtful and deeply compassionate person at everything he did,” added Wexler, who had studied at UPenn alongside Mangione but hadn’t become friends with him until they lived together in Hawaii.
Reading for the club included What’s Our Problem? by Tim Urban—described as a self-help book for society—and The Ape That Understood the Universe: How the Mind and Culture Evolve by Steve Stewart-Williams—a book that examines how mankind might be reviewed by other species.
Reading the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski—later known as the Unabomber—was first suggested as a joke, Wexler and Martin added, and ultimately led to the book club disbanding because of the material.
But Mangione seemingly read the script. In January, a Goodreads account with Mangione’s name and photo gave a four-star review to Theodore Kaczynski’s infamous anti-technology critique, Industrial Society and Its Future.
“It’s easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies,” Mangione wrote. “But it’s simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.”
Mangione’s profile has since been made private but also reportedly included a reading list about back pain.
Mangione was charged with the Dec. 4 assassination of health insurance boss Thompson after the Ivy League graduate was arrested in connection with the event yesterday, when police apprehended him in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa.
