Luigi Mangione became an overnight sensation in the most polarizing way. The 26-year-old man has been arrested and charged with shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood. He is now being transported to the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn. If MDC sounds familiar, that’s because it’s also been the home of Sean “Diddy” Combs for the past few months.
