The family of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, issued a public statement late Monday night after his arrest.
"Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi's arrest," they said in a statement released by his cousin Nino Mangione, a Republican Baltimore County Delegate, shortly after 10 p.m.
"We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news," the statement continued.
The family also mentioned that they "cannot comment on news reports" about Luigi Mangione, who was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania on Monday morning.
"We only know what we have read in the media," they added.
Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League graduate, hails from a wealthy family with a prominent presence in their Maryland community.
He grew up in Towson, near Baltimore, and his family owns two large country clubs, a local radio station, and various other real estate assets.
Law enforcement officials revealed during an evening press conference that Luigi Mangione "hasn't made any statements" since his arrest at the McDonald’s on Monday morning.
It remains unclear whether he has requested legal representation.
