Luigi Mangione, accused of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was reportedly living in a luxury apartment in Honolulu before his arrest. According to the New York Post, Mangione, 26, resided in a two-bedroom unit at 801 South St., Honolulu. The property is owned by Peter and Nam Joun, who purchased it in 2021 for $745,000. They were allegedly unaware that Mangione was their tenant as rentals were managed externally.
Mangione's stay began in February, though details about potential roommates or rental costs remain unclear. Similar units rent between $3,150 and $3,450 monthly. He was arrested on December 9 at a McDonald's in Altoona, PA.
His connection to Honolulu emerged after being named a person of interest; although raised in Maryland, he recently lived in Hawaii. Former roommate R.J. Martin expressed shock over Mangione's arrest and second-degree murder charges.
Mangione hails from a wealthy Maryland family with ties to real estate founded by his grandfather Nicholas Mangione Sr., who built an empire including country clubs and nursing homes. Luigi attended prestigious schools and graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania.
Facing extradition after his arrest for Thompson's murder outside a New York hotel on December 4, Mangione also faces firearm possession and forgery charges. His lawyer Thomas Dickey plans to contest extradition despite police confirming fingerprint matches at the crime scene and linking shell casings to a gun found with Mangione.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated: "We got the gun in question back from Pennsylvania … we were able to match that gun to the three shell casings found in Midtown at the scene of the homicide."
Mangione's privileged upbringing contrasts sharply with his current legal challenges.
