A video of alleged United Healthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione in college is trending on social media.
Mangione, 26, was arrested and charged with the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The 50-year-old CEO was shot and killed outside of his hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, Dec. 4. Mangione, who attended the University of Pennsylvania, was later arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He's since been transported to New York City, where he awaits trial.
In the wake of Mangione's arrest, tons of old photos and videos of his time in college have gone viral on social media.
TMZ obtained a video of Mangione smashing and chugging a beer in college.
In the video obtained by TMZ ... Luigi is seen repeatedly smashing a beer on his forehead before chugging down the alcoholic beverage. Several partygoers hype up Luigi during the party trick ... as he's filmed gulping down the beer.
A source tells TMZ ... the wild scene took place at a massive St. Patrick's Day party -- which explains the number of green shirts in the footage -- at the Ivy League school in 2019.
Per the source, this behavior wasn't unusual for Luigi, either ... with the insider describing LM as "the life of the party in college."
According to reports, Luigi was well liked in college, but gave off hard partying vibes.
"We're told Luigi often gave off total frat bro vibes .... but was still well-liked and popular -- which had to do with the fact that he was very kind, funny, naturally intelligent, and creative," TMZ added.
"The source says Luigi -- who majored in computer engineering -- was a tech-oriented guy, who had a work-hard, play-hard mentality at school."
Many of Luigi's friends and family members have been shocked by his arrest.
"Luigi was in no way a loner, according to the source ... noting LM was not the typical person you'd expect to be a suspect in a violent shooting," the source added.
