Luigi Mangione has reportedly now been indicted on federal murder charges related to the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on December 4, 2024.
This serious charge makes Mangione eligible for the death penalty, as announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
She described Thompson’s murder as a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination” that shocked the nation and emphasized the Department of Justice’s commitment to pursuing the death penalty in this case.
The indictment alleges that Mangione stalked and murdered Thompson, framing the act as politically motivated violence.
According to the Department of Justice, Mangione’s actions involved significant planning and posed a danger to bystanders during the murder.
Evidence against Mangione includes a homemade firearm that matched shell casings found at the crime scene, as well as fingerprints linking him to items near the site.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that the weapon and fingerprints were crucial in establishing his involvement.
Additionally, when arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Mangione possessed a notebook detailing Thompson’s assassination.
One disturbing entry referenced targeting “the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention,” indicating a calculated approach.
A manifesto recovered by police contained statements directed at the company, asserting that he acted alone.
Mangione faces multiple charges, including murder with a firearm, firearms offenses, and stalking. The murder charge carries a maximum penalty of death upon conviction.
After a search lasting nearly a week, Mangione was apprehended at a McDonald’s. His actions have garnered mixed reactions, with some individuals reportedly celebrating him during a recent Saturday Night Live show.
