Luigi Mangioni, who was arrested earlier this week and charged in last week’s killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, could soon be facing additional charges, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Mangioni, 26, is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on gun and forgery charges after being arrested at a McDonald’s restaurant on Monday morning. He is fighting extradition to New York, where Bragg’s office has filed second-degree murder, criminal possession of a forged instrument and several gun charges against him.
Bragg predicted during an interview with ABC News on Wednesday that Mangione’s extradition would be successful and suggested that prosecutors working to “bring him to justice” might file new charges when his motive for allegedly killing Thompson becomes clear.

“We will get the defendant here and bring him to justice through our court proceeding,” Bragg said. “As we learn more about motives and other things like that … there may be additional charges… We intend to learn more, and we have a lot of things to do. As things go forward, there may be additional charges to bring.”
Newsweek reached out for comment to the office of Mangione’s lawyer Thomas Dickey via email on Wednesday night.
