Luigi Mangione went 'radio silent,' was reported missing in San Francisco. Then CEO was killed
Luigi Mangione, the man suspected of killing the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, underwent surgery and was reported missing in San Francisco before the shooting. Brian Thompson, 50, CEO of the healthcare insurance giant, was gunned down last week in Midtown Manhattan, spawning a five-day manhunt that eventually led to Mangione's arrest at a McDonald's restaurant in Altoona, Pa. Questions about Mangione's alleged motives and background have swirled in the media since his arrest Monday. As prosecutors worked to bring him to New York to face charges, new details emerged about his life and his capture. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family was charged with murder hours after his arrest.

Uber CEO walks back comment that Saudi writer's slaying was 'mistake'
NEW YORK – Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is being criticized for calling the murder of a Washington Post columnist "a mistake" and comparing it to the death of a pedestrian struck by one of the company's autonomous vehicles. Khosrowshahi later said he regretted his comments, made during an interview with Axios on HBO. He tweeted Monday that there's no forgiving or forgetting what happened to the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and he was wrong to call it a mistake. Critics say Khosrowshahi is downplaying Khashoggi's grisly murder to placate one of the company's biggest investors. Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, known as The Public Investment Fund, holds about $1.9 billion worth of Uber stock, making it the company's fifth-largest stakeholder.
