Company removed image on website that appeared to show Mangione in a white shirt reportedly priced just under $10
The clothing company Shein said it has opened an internal investigation after its website briefly displayed a shirt listing featuring an image resembling Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in New York last year.
The image appeared to show Mangione in a short-sleeved white shirt, and the top was reportedly priced at just under $10.
In a statement shared with various media outlets, the company said: “The image in question was provided by a third-party vendor and was removed immediately upon discovery.”
Exactly when and for how long the shirt was on sale is unclear, with Shein uploading thousands of products every day, but searches for “Luigi Mangione Shein” on Google spiked on Tuesday and the listing began circulating across social media.
