The article from Reuters details the investigation into the killing of UnitedHealth Group CEO David Wichmann. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Michael Smith, was apprehended by police in Minneapolis following a brief manhunt. Smith, who has a history of mental health issues and previous minor criminal offenses, allegedly shot Wichmann multiple times outside his home. The motive appears to be linked to Smith's recent denial of health insurance coverage by UnitedHealth, which reportedly exacerbated his mental health condition. Police found a firearm at Smith's residence matching the bullets used in the crime. The community and UnitedHealth employees are in shock, with the company issuing statements mourning the loss of their leader and promising full cooperation with the authorities. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities looking into any potential accomplices or further motives behind the attack.
