Luigi Mangione Indicted on Federal Murder and Stalking Charges in CEO Killing
The 26-year-old suspect faces federal and state charges for the premeditated shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, driven by anti-healthcare industry motives.
- Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged federally with murder using a firearm, stalking, and using an illegal gun silencer, in addition to state-level charges including first-degree murder and terrorism.
- Prosecutors allege Mangione meticulously planned the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, citing a notebook expressing hostility toward the health insurance industry and wealthy executives.
- Thompson was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4, with Mangione arrested five days later in Pennsylvania after a multi-state manhunt.
- The killing has sparked polarized reactions, with some condemning it as an act of terrorism and others framing Mangione as a folk hero critical of the healthcare industry.
- Federal charges open the possibility of the death penalty, though Mangione's defense claims he has been 'overcharged' and plans to contest the allegations in court.
