Supporters of Luigi Mangioni are flooding him with love letters and prison spending money as he awaits trial on murder charges.
Mangioni, 26, is currently awaiting trial after being arrested and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The shocking murder took place outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on December 5th.
After a manhunt lasting several days, he was eventually spotted at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania and apprehended shortly after.
According to The New York Post, Mangioni has already received 54 emails, 87 physical letters, and 163 deposits into a prison spending account that allows him to purchase snacks and other items.
The report described some of the messages he received:
“Hey Luigi, I’m certain you’ve received countless messages from people all over the world the internet is actually in love with you,” one admirer wrote, according to a partial screenshot she posted on TikTok. The hot-and-bothered fan claimed she offered herself to Magnione [sic] as someone around his age that he could chat with while in jail.
The accused gunman is “fine [as f–k,]” the twisted supporter said, before insisting the Ivy League grad “didnt rlly do anything wrong tbh” [sic] by gunning down father of two Brian Thompson.
“Killing someone that has taken thousands of peoples lives himself is not wrong imo,” she told The Post, echoing a callous stance held by some of Mangione’s die-hard fans.
Another woman gaga for the gunman quivered while recalling sending Mangione a letter plus photos from her recent birthday. “Honestly, it feels cathartic and sexy to want to do something and then do it — I mean writing a letter,” the woman said in a TikTok post.
Thompson’s murder has led to widespread debate about vigilanitism, with many individuals expressing sympathy for Mangioni and saying he was justified on account of the greed of the healthcare industry.
A shock poll carried out this week found that over 40 precent of young people believe the murder was justified, while 41 percent felt it was not.

Mangione waived his extradition to New York in a Pennsylvania courtroom on Thursday, allowing New York City police detectives to escort him back for an afternoon appearance in Manhattan.
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors announced four additional charges against Mangione: murder, use of a weapon equipped with a silencer, and two counts of stalking. These charges come on top of the 11 state charges already filed by the Manhattan district attorney.
If convicted on all charges, he may be eligible for the death penalty.
