A New York City grand jury has indicted Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, on charges that include murder.
Mangione, 26, was indicted Tuesday on one count of first-degree murder, in furtherance of terrorism; two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; seven counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of possession of a forged instrument.
Mangione has been held in custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania, since his Dec. 9 arrest. In Pennsylvania, he faces felony charges of forgery and carrying a firearm without a license, along with misdemeanor charges of tampering with records or identification, possessing instruments of crime and providing false identification to law enforcement.
His Pennsylvania lawyer, Thomas Dickey, has said Mangione will fight extradition to New York and plead not guilty to all charges.
Mangione’s New York attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, has not publicly commented about her client or the charges against him.
