New York Post Presents: Luigi Mangione Monster or Martyr? not only delves into Mangione’s backstory, but also digs into the overwhelming social media reactions to the case, including many who have lauded the murder and praised Mangione’s good looks.
On the morning of Dec. 4, 2024, Thompson was shot outside of the Hilton Midtown hotel. While the public waited for days for a suspect to be named in the case, Mangione was arrested not long after. According to PBS News, Mangione was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Dec. 9, 2024.
After being extradited to New York and being charged with stalking and murdering Thompson, Mangione pleaded not guilty to said charges on Dec. 23, 2024.
This new documentary follows the release of ABC’s Manhunt: Luigi Mangione and the CEO Murder — A Special Edition of 20/20 — which debuted on the network on Dec. 19, 2024 and is now streaming on Hulu — and preceded TMZ Investigates: Luigi Mangione: The Mind of a Killer, which premieres on Fox on Monday (Jan. 6).
