Johns Hopkins Names Sister of Accused UnitedHealthcare Killer to Cardiology Fellowship

Prosecutors plan to introduce a manifesto and an alleged 3D-printed gun as evidence at the Sept. 8 state trial of her brother.

Luigi Mangione's older sister has secured a plum job at one of America's top hospitals – while the alleged assassin sits in a Brooklyn lockup awaiting trial over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Overview

  • Johns Hopkins confirmed on Monday that 36-year-old MariaSanta Mangione will begin a cardiovascular disease fellowship in July as one of 10 selected fellows.
  • Her brother, Luigi Mangione, is charged in the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and has pleaded not guilty in both state and federal cases.
  • Mangione remains held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while his state murder trial is set to start on Sept. 8 and a separate federal case is expected afterward.
  • Prosecutors say they will present a manifesto attributed to Luigi that criticizes the health insurance industry and an alleged 3D-printed firearm as key trial evidence linking motive and means.
  • MariaSanta’s selection highlights a sharp family contrast between a rising medical career backed by degrees from the University of Maryland and an MD/PhD from Vanderbilt and the unfolding high-profile prosecution, which is likely to keep public and media attention on both the trial and related institutions.
