Ezra Sosa Posts a Now-Deleted TikTok Joking That United Healthcare Assassin Suspect Should Be His Partner

In a now-deleted TikTok, Sosa joked that the suspected United Healthcare Assassin, Luigi Mangione will be his partner on the next season of Dancing With The Stars. Within the deleted post, Sosa picked a photo of Manigone smiling, which showed off their facial similarities.

As the caption of the post, Sosa wrote, “he finna be my partner season 34 🥵🙂‍↔️🤤 #dwts.” In addition, the dancer poked fun at how much they look alike, having his own image absorb Manigone.

Manigone is suspected of shooting and killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This took place at the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel in New York City on Wednesday, December 4. He is now in custody in Pennsylvania.


According to CNN, Mangione is facing murder charges, as well as four additional charges. This includes one count of forging a document and criminally possessing a firearm.

For those who may not understand the nature of this joke, Sosa’s first season as a professional dancer, he was paired with ex-convict Anna Delvey. Delvey was convicted of attempted grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services.
