Man charged with murder in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO. St. Paul mayor wants to raise taxes

The arrest of a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is a relief for people who worked with Thompson. A 26-year-old man, Luigi Nicholas Mangione, has been charged with murder after a quick-thinking McDonald’s customer in Pennsylvania recognized him from a surveillance photo and police officers found a gun, mask and writings linking him to the ambush.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter says he wants to raise taxes. Some homeowners say they can't afford it. Carter is proposing a nearly 8 percent increase in the city's 2025 budget.

And Frank Paro, a prominent figure in the American Indian Movement, has died. Paro was a tribal citizen of the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.
