A Saratoga County man is facing federal charges for allegedly terrorizing the grieving family of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson just hours after the healthcare executive was gunned down in midtown Manhattan late last year.

Shane Daley, 40, of Galway, New York, was arrested Wednesday and charged with cyberstalking after federal prosecutors say he sent harassing and threatening voicemail messages to a family member of Thompson.

Between Dec. 4-7, 2024, and beginning just hours after Thompson’s murder, Daley allegedly placed multiple calls to a work phone line used by a member of Thompson’s family. 

In a series of voicemail messages, Daley used threatening and harassing language that focused on Thompson’s killing, expressed satisfaction over the manner of his death and declared that the victim and Thompson’s children “deserved to meet the same violent end,” according to a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday.

If convicted, Daley faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release of up to three years. Daley is scheduled to be arraigned at 2 p.m. Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart in Albany. 

Thompson, who had served as CEO of UnitedHealthcare since 2021, was fatally shot in early December 2024.

Authorities have identified Luigi Mangione as the suspect in the homicide, and he has pleaded not guilty. Daley is not accused of any involvement in Thompson’s killing, only of harassing a family member afterward.
