Alleged gunman faces nine charges including second-degree murder in New York state case
Luigi Mangione is due to appear in Manhattan state court on Monday for the first day of a potentially weeklong proceeding to weigh the legality of evidence gathered during his arrest after the killing of a prominent healthcare executive.
Mangione was apprehended last December in the murder of senior United HealthCare figure Brian Thompson last December. In addition to state-level charges, he faces a Manhattan federal court case.
Thompson’s brutal slaying on the streets of New York city triggered an intense manhunt for the killer, but also sparked an outpouring of anger at the practices of the US for-profit healthcare industry. Since his arrest Mangione has attracted some enthusiastic supporters, both online and at his court appearances.
It’s 75% in NYC 50% is probably state average.
Nope. According to the 2024 Clearance report (4th quarter) from NYC the murder resolution rate was 50.57% in grand total. The 75% you are referring to is from Manhattan only. Brooklyn had a 41.67% clearance rate and the Bronx was at 51.72%. Queens was absolute shit at only 33.33% of murders cleared. With Staten Island at 66.67%.

Edit: I need to mention that cleared doesn’t mean ‘convicted absolutely and we found the killer 100%’ it just means that they arrested and charged someone with the crime. If the charges are later dropped for some reason, or the person(s) go to trial and are acquitted, it doesn’t count against the statistic.
