Shane Daley, a 40-year-old man from Galway, New York, has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking for allegedly sending harassing and threatening voicemail messages to a family member of Brian Thompson, the former CEO of UnitedHealthcare who was fatally shot in Manhattan in December 2024. According to prosecutors and the FBI's New York office, Daley made multiple calls expressing glee about the killing and justifying the shooting. He reportedly stated that the victim and Thompson’s children deserved to meet the same violent fate. The charges stem from a Justice Department complaint following an investigation by the FBI and the Northern District of New York. Daley’s actions occurred hours after the fatal shooting of Thompson, which has been a high-profile case. Authorities have emphasized the criminal nature of Daley's alleged stalking and harassment of the slain CEO’s family.
