UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder is inspiring warnings to other healthcare executives ... with "wanted" posters popping up in NYC of other big players in the industry.

Video of these posters is going viral online ... showing a dark green traffic control box in Lower Manhattan decorated with three posters featuring healthcare CEOs -- including Thompson's photo with a huge red "X" slashed through it.

The other 2 execs are at OptumHealth and UnitedHealth Group and the poster accuses them of denying medical coverage in order to bolster their companies' bottom lines.

Shortly after Luigi Mangione was apprehended on Monday, admirers of his began setting up GoFundMe pages to help the CEO murder suspect ... but the company has officially shut down all the campaigns, TMZ has learned.

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.

What seems like mere minutes after his name and pictures were out there ... twisted admirers of his began setting up several pages on the community-funding site to help Mangione with legal bills.

An angry customer took things way too far Monday, driving his recently purchased used car straight through a dealership’s storefront over a refund beef -- and the horrifying moment was caught on camera.

A massive fire broke out in the Malibu Canyon of Los Angeles on Monday night, causing an apocalyptic scene that was captured on video and prompting mandatory evacuations throughout the ravaged area, authorities said.

The inferno erupted around 11 PM several miles north of the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu before it spread over 10 acres of land, then expanded across 100 acres due to dry brush and the Santa Ana winds, according to the L.A. County Fire Department. Early Tuesday morning the fire had consumed at least 1,800 acres.

As the blaze grew ever stronger, firefighters went door to door and used loudspeakers to order residents to immediately evacuate their homes.

11:27 AM -- Penny was all smiles and in a celebratory mood after his acquittal. Check out this photo of him grabbing a few beers with his lawyers, Tom Kenniff and Steven Raiser, inside a bar.

Daniel Penny -- the man who choked Jordan Neely to death on a NYC subway -- has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide Monday, according to his attorneys, Tom Kenniff and Steven Raiser ... after prosecutors dropped a manslaughter charge Friday when the jury deadlocked.

The jury of 7 women and 5 men had been deliberating since Tuesday last week in the case -- they deadlocked twice on Friday, telling the judge they could not reach a unanimous verdict. Penny was facing charges of second-degree manslaughter and the negligence count. Prosecutors then moved to drop the manslaughter charge, and the judge allowed it, instructing the jury to consider only that count.

The central issue during the trial ... was whether Penny was justified in placing 30-year-old Neely in what turned out to be a fatal chokehold after witnesses claimed Neely was threatening passengers on a NYC subway car on May 1, 2023.

Brandi Glanville has left her fans concerned and puzzled after sharing a selfie of herself with a very cryptic caption.

Sophie Rain has been inundated with opportunities since going viral over her massive OnlyFans paycheck ... but a high-end sex doll of her likeness is an offer she can refuse.

RealDoll -- the same sex doll company Lamar Odom purchased a model from -- reached out to the 20-year-old brunette bombshell a couple of times with an offer to recreate her nude torso.

She likely could have made a serious chunk of change for the mold, as those torsos usually retail for $1,900 ... but the company is pretty damn sure they could sell hers for $3K!

But, the butt offer ain't happening ... at least, not anytime soon, as a source close to SR tells us she is not interested right now.

As TMZ exclusively reported ... Sophie has been flooded with different offers since she went viral after claiming she made more than $40 million on OnlyFans this year.

Sophie joined us on "TMZ Live" earlier this week, and told us she's still a virgin and marketing herself as one is a big draw for men.

A source close to Sophie told us she's been getting offers to get her virginity taken on camera for big bucks ... but she isn't interested and passed on all the asks.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" OG tells TMZ … she gave her blessing for Nick's podcast team to use the now-viral recording where she forgot to hang up the call after their interview. She tells us Nick's side reached out before making the clip public ... and she played it cool. She says she honestly couldn’t remember what she said because she thought she’d already hung up ... so, go to town!

But Vicki has a condition. In exchange for the use of her momentary mishap, she had her team reach out to Nick's team on Wednesday, asking him to now appear on her podcast, "My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast."

The woman who tried to calm the little girl throwing food inside a Walmart in a viral video says the kid was scared because she was separated from her family.
