A man is in custody after he apparently made threats from his vehicle outside UnitedHealthcare's headquarters in Minnetonka on Monday morning.

The man, who has had contact with law enforcement in the past, showed up around 11 a.m. at the health insurance company's campus, according to Andrew Wittenborg, a spokesman for the city of Minnetonka.

The campus, located in the 9700 block of Health Care Lane, has had a police presence since the December killing of company CEO Brian Thompson.

Parked in his vehicle, the man on Monday made a phone call to the FBI and threatened violence towards the facility if his needs were not met, according to a joint statement made by the Minnetonka Police Department and FBI.

Authorities said they were able to negotiate with him, and he was apprehended without incident after about an hour. A gun was recovered in the front passenger seat of his vehicle, Wittenborg said. There were no injuries reported.

In a statement late Monday, UnitedHealthcare said, "The safety and security of our colleagues is our top priority. We are grateful that law enforcement acted quickly to resolve the situation near our Minnesota offices today. Based on what we know of the situation, the individual made no demands against UnitedHealthcare. There is no reason to believe there were specific grievances against the company."

Business Wire
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was killed in New York City in 2024.

According to court records, the 26-year-old was convicted in January of making violent threats and later sentenced to probation. A warrant was issued in early April after he allegedly violated probation terms. The Minnesota Star Tribune doesn't typically name suspects before they are charged.

UnitedHealthcare has faced security concerns in the months after the killing of Thompson in New York. Thompson was walking to a meeting in New York City on Dec. 4 when he was shot, allegedly by Luigi Mangione.

Mangione was arrested and has pleaded not guilty to state murder and terror charges. He also faces federal charges. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi last week called for the death penalty should Mangione be convicted.
