THere is also the matter of United healthcare executives insider trading.

Google the phrase , United healthcare executives insider trading.

ie "...The late Brian Thompson and two other executives were accused of dumping stock prior a DOJ antitrust investigation into the company.....

It is puzzling why this is rarely mentioned in media articles about this matter?

It's rarely mentioned because it's irrelevant. He wasn't shot because of the insider trading, and the insider trading doesn't morally justify the shooting.

RE :....Was not shot because of insider trading ...." This could have certainly COULD been a motivation - as some claim to have lost many millions $$$. However , now the accused guy caught - and his motivation claimed to be discerned by his notebook ... Insider trading and fraud accusations if proven in court , show he was dodgy and other in company also dodgy as others suffered BIG losses , claimed in media articles.

Which is weird, because whenever there's a high-profile police shooting the media goes out of their way to dig up dirt on the victim to morally justify the shooting.

when Bill Cosby was on trial for raping many women, the media also did not mention that he once cut grass for his elderly neighbour

For a second I got excited, because I thought Mangione was being charged with actual dueling, à la Burr and Hamilton. Then I read the article and realized it was talking about conflicting charges, not charges of dueling, and suddenly the story was much less colorful.
