A suspect is in custody after a large police presence was seen Monday at the UnitedHealthcare campus in Minnesota.
The Minnetonka Police Department said the suspect was arrested outside of the UnitedHealthcare corporate campus in Minnetonka.
“There is no threat to the public,” police added. “We are continuing to clear the scene at this time.”
Further details about the incident were not immediately released.
Local TV station KTSP reported last month that UnitedHealthcare has been paying Minnetonka Police to patrol its headquarters almost daily.
The arrest comes months after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down outside a New York City hotel on Dec. 4 as he walking to an investor conference.
Luigi Mangione, 26, pleaded not guilty to state murder and terror charges in December. Mangione is from Towson and was the 2016 Gilman School valedictorian.
An unsealed federal complaint also charges him with two counts of stalking and one count each of murder through the use of a firearm and a firearms offense. Murder by firearm could bring the possibility of the death penalty if Mangione is convicted, while the maximum sentence for the state charges is life in prison without parole.
He hasn’t entered a plea to the federal charges or to state-level gun possession and other charges in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested days after Thompson’s death.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty.
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said in a statement. “After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”
