Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal charges in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO FAST-MOVING

Luigi Mangione, 28, has pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges in connection with the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. During a federal court hearing, Mangione admitted to shooting Thompson, stating, “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.”

Mangione revealed that he used a ruse, posing as an investor at a multibillion-dollar firm, to gather information about Thompson's schedule prior to the ambush. He cited his personal struggles with the American healthcare system and chronic back pain as his primary motivation for the attack.

Federal prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence between 292 and 365 months, while others have indicated they will seek a life sentence. The sentencing is scheduled for December 18. Despite the federal plea, Mangione still faces a separate murder prosecution in New York state court. His defense team has filed a motion to dismiss the state charges, arguing that pursuing both constitutes double jeopardy.
