The New York City Police Department (NYPD) said on Dec. 12 that there is no indication that Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was a client of the company.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told NBC that the Mangione’s actions may have been motivated by the prominence of UnitedHealthcare, known as the largest health insurer in the United States.
