True Crime

The skateboarder going viral for looking like Luigi Mangione has zero interest in turning his appearance into a cash cow ... telling TMZ Sports he's perfectly content with sticking to his day job.

Guy Azulay shared a short video of himself doing tricks in a parking lot on Thursday -- just a few days later, it made rounds on social media ... with some people misidentifying him as the man arrested for allegedly killing​ UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

We caught up with Azulay amid his newfound internet fame ... and he admitted all the reactions have been surprising -- but overall, he's being a good sport about it.

Michael Moore says people's anger over America’s healthcare system and for-profit insurance is "1000% justified" following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

In a Substack essay penned after he was name-dropped in the accused killer Luigi Mangione’s manifesto, Michael said while he doesn’t condone murder, the healthcare system has more "blood on their hands than a thousand 9/11 terrorists."

Michael didn’t stop there -- he made it clear the anger about the broken healthcare system was so justified that he was going to "pour gasoline on that anger."

The lawyer representing Erik and Lyle Menendez's victims who are also family members says the handwriting is already on the wall with the new L.A. County District Attorney ... and the writing he saw reeks of bias against the bros.

Bryan Freedman wrote a scathing email, obtained by TMZ, to new D.A. Nathan Hochman, calling him out for meeting with only one Menendez family member ... the one who has gone on the record calling the 2 men cold-blooded killers and advocating that they rot in jail.

Freedman wrote, "Nathan, as I mentioned to you the day after the election ... I represent over 20 family members of Jose and Kitty Menendez ... There is concern however that your process of gathering information from the victims has been unfair."

Luigi Mangione’s mother spoke to feds just hours before he was arrested in Pennsylvania ... telling the FBI the suspect bore somewhat of a resemblance to her son.

The New York Post reported ... members of the Joint Violent Crimes Task Force questioned Kathleen Mangione late Sunday after the family reported Luigi missing last month, prior to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

It was police in San Francisco -- where Luigi was reported missing -- who tipped off the feds that the suspected shooter and the missing 26-year-old could be one and the same.

Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was never a client of his alleged victim's company ... this according to the NYPD.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny spoke with NBC New York Thursday, where he informed the outlet there's "no indication" LM was ever insured by the medical corporation ... speculating Mangione may've "targeted" UHC for its status as the largest healthcare org in the country.

As Kenny continued, he noted that Mangione "had prior knowledge that the conference was taking place on that date, at that location" -- referring to the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel, where Thompson was fatally shot last week.

O.J. Simpson’s debts are about to get knocked down a notch, that is if someone steps up to buy some of his most prized, and X-rated, possessions.

Malcolm LaVergne, Simpson's longtime attorney and executor of his estate, tells TMZ his stash of prison pornography from his days in Nevada state prison is up for grabs.

Yep, O.J. and his fellow inmates were allowed to read mags like Penthouse, and turns out he had quite the collection.

Lil Durk's criminal case just got heavier ... the feds say he's too dangerous to be released on bail, pointing to possible links between the Chicago rap star and another alleged murder-for-hire plot.

Durk's legal team has been pushing for bail -- but on Thursday, prosecutors unsealed a warrant from April 2023 that alleges Durk "offer[ed] money for people to kill those responsible for his brother's murder" ... and say this has become his M.O., and may have also led to the January 2022 shooting death of 24-year-old Stephon Mack.

According to the search warrant, Mack was the leader of the Smashville faction of the Gangster Disciples, which the feds say is a rival gang of Durk's OTF's Black Disciples.

Even before a suspect was identified, people were cheering the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer ... but it went to a whole new level when a face was finally seen -- and admirers' parts started to tingle.

Here's the deal ... Luigi Mangione was apprehended Monday ... and hours later, the Manhattan D.A. charged him with murder in the brazen December 4 fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

Renowned sex doc Laura Berman tells TMZ ... women have found notorious criminals attractive in the past -- Ted Bundy being a classic example -- but she's never seen the thirst level that's been on display for the suspect Mangione.

Luigi Mangione's grandmother left behind tens of millions of dollars to her family ... but now there's a strong chance Luigi will be iced out of the will after being charged with murder.

According to documents obtained by TMZ ... Mary C. Mangione -- a philanthropist and grandmother of the alleged murderer -- left behind an estate worth at least $30 million to be distributed among her 10 children.

The docs insinuate the number might be much higher than $30 million -- perhaps even north of $100 million, though it doesn't say exactly how much she left behind when she passed in 2023 ... it's all pretty technical.

Jon Voight is calling on Americans to realize the difference between right and wrong ... taking a minute to praise Daniel Penny -- who was found not guilty in the fatal choking of Jordan Neely -- and slam Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer in Brian Thompson's murder.

We caught up with the actor following the big updates in Penny and Mangione's respective New York cases ... and Angelina Jolie's dad made his opinions crystal clear on the highly discussed true-crime stories.

As Voight put it ... Penny should be hailed as a hero, and applauded the Marine veteran for having "the guts" to do what he did.

Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer in the Brian Thompson murder case, was unafraid to let loose and have a good time during his college years ... going wild in a video from his time at the University of Pennsylvania.

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.

When Luigi Mangione made his initial court appearance Tuesday in Pennsylvania after a nationwide manhunt finally ended a day earlier ... and along with his outburst at the cameras, came some trolling from onlookers.

Here's the deal ... Mangione was apprehended Monday at a Pennsylvania Mickey D's ... and hours later, the Manhattan D.A. charged him with murder in the brazen December 4 fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

After his brief extradition hearing Tuesday ... Mangione was led out of the Blair County courthouse by police where a group of reporters and others screamed questions at him ... along with a very specifical taunt.

Luigi Mangione's not on suicide watch after being examined by mental health professionals ... TMZ has learned.

A representative for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections says ... the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson isn't currently under any psychiatric order at SCI Huntingdon, a correctional facility just outside Altoona.

We're told he was evaluated by medical and psychology professionals as part of the regular screening ... and, no psych order was put in place.

Luigi Mangione's getting his own cell at a Pennsylvania correctional facility, and he hasn't been interacting with other inmates recently ... and, we now know what he'll be eating too.

A representative for the PA Department of Corrections tells TMZ ... Mangione will be held in a single cell -- no roommate locked up with him -- at SCI Huntingdon just outside Altoona.

We're told he's not in solitary confinement ... but, he won't be interacting with other inmates at this time -- so, no hanging out in the rec yard for now it seems.

Luigi Mangione planned to dive headfirst into self-help books it appears ... including one all about living with self-involved and distant parents -- providing what could be a clue to relationships in his own family.

As we've told you ... the alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was apparently active on Goodreads -- a website where people log what they read and what they plan to read.

An account bearing his name logged hundreds of titles over the last 8 years ... and included many more on the "Want to Read" section -- including "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal From Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents" by clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson.

Law enforcement may be praising the McDonald's employee who helped capture Luigi Mangione, but his supporters are pissed -- and they're taking it out on the restaurant's Yelp page.

Here's the deal ... Mangione was apprehended Monday at a Pennsylvania Mickey D's ... and hours later, the Manhattan D.A. charged him with murder in the brazen December 4 fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

Since then ... the Yelp page for the Altoona location has been overrun by Mangione admirers, who have smeared the site with poor reviews and (pretty creative) A.I. images ... all revolving around rats.
