Looked it up to double check, as it's what I remembered reading.

The New York Police Department told CBS News that there are no indications that Mangione was a UnitedHealthcare customer.

Officials believe Mangione may have targeted the company because of its status as the largest health insurer in the United States.

I would imagine it might be because United denies claims more than most (all?) other major insurance providers. I mean, it could be because of that, if Luigi did it, but he's innocent so this is purely hypothetical.

They were absolutely the best choice to target, the worst of the worst.
