TOWSON, Md.–Within a few hours of his arrest after the public execution of a health care CEO, a clear picture of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione quickly emerged.

By all accounts, Mangione was a well-educated, brilliant, and physically fit young man who came from a wealthy family in Maryland. He was arrested on Dec. 9, five days after 50-year-old UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down on a New York City sidewalk.
