UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson remembered as valedictorian in Iowa

• During his time in high school, Thompson was class president, homecoming king and valedictorian his senior year, KCCI reports. He was also valedictorian at UI.
• His family farmed hogs, beans and corn, the Register reports. He enjoyed fishing in a small pond near his home growing up.

What they're saying: "If you would look at his '93 classmates, they would all tell you that they knew he was going to strive to be something big," Todd Coy, the principal of South Hamilton Middle and High School, told KCCI. "Being a CEO of a large health insurance company does not surprise any of them."

The latest: Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested by police Monday in connection with Thompson's homicide in New York City.

• A McDonald's employee in Altoona, Pennsylvania, who recognized Mangione called local police.
• He was born and raised in a prominent real estate family in the Baltimore area and holds both a bachelor's and master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
