A federal grand jury in New York on Thursday returned a four-count indictment against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The charges include two counts of stalking, one firearms offense, and murder through the use of a firearm—the latter making Mangione eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
Prosecutors allege Mangione stalked Thompson outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan before shooting him on December 4, 2024. Attorney General Pam Bondi has already indicated her intention to seek the death penalty, a move Mangione’s defense team is actively working to prevent.
