Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty over shooting of insurance CEO
Luigi Mangione is accused of shooting dead Brian Thompson, the CEO of a US health insurance company, in New York in 2024.
Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing US health insurance CEO Brian Thompson, is anticipated to plead guilty in a federal court on Friday, according to a source familiar with the case. The plea could result in double jeopardy for a separate state trial related to the same incident. The federal hearing, set to take place in Manhattan Federal Court, revolves around two counts of stalking.
Mangione, 28, is accused of traveling to New York City to assassinate Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4, 2024, as the executive headed to UnitedHealth Group's annual investor conference. Mangione's lawyers and federal prosecutors have declined to comment on the potential plea.
