Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family, was arrested Monday in the killing of Brian Thompson, who headed one of the United States’ largest medical insurance companies.
He remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. By late evening, prosecutors in Manhattan had added a charge of murder, according to an online court docket. He is expected to be extradited to New York eventually.
A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant for the former defense minister in connection with last week’s martial law imposition.
The Seoul Central District Court said it approved prosecutors’ request for an arrest warrant against Kim Yong Hyun.
Kim faces allegations that he colluded with President Yoon Suk Yeol and others in imposing the Dec. 3 martial law, which brought armed troops to Seoul streets. Authorities investigate whether their acts amount to rebellion.
Kim became the first person arrested in the case.
Students at the University of St. Thomas received an email from public safety regarding several motor vehicle thefts on and around the St. Thomas campus on Nov. 12.
“Since January 1, 2024, we’ve had 16 thefts from inside motor vehicles in St. Paul,” Fimon said. “Eight of those are not exactly on campus. They’re within a six-block radius of campus, which we collect the crime stats for six blocks out because we want to give students the best statistical outlook possible,” Aaron Fimon, the St. Thomas public safety manager for the St. Paul campus and clery compliance manager said.
