Valedictorian at his $37,000-a-year all-boys prep school. Founder of a gaming club and graduate at an Ivy League university. A rapidly ascending data engineer at TrueCar Inc.

Luigi Nicholas Mangione was all that. And now, he’s also been charged in New York with the murder of insurance executive Brian Thompson, a father of two gunned down last week in Midtown Manhattan.
