CNN —Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a busy sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan, is expected to be arraigned Monday in New York on state murder and terror charges. A federal criminal complaint was unsealed Thursday, in which Mangione was charged with murder through use of a firearm, two stalking charges and a firearms offense. He could face the death penalty if found guilty of the federal murder charge, while the state charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Jane Rosenberg/ReutersThe push for federal charges came from the US Attorney’s office, multiple law enforcement sources told CNN. An entry dated August 15, reads: “the details are finally coming together,” according to the federal complaint unsealed Thursday.

At a news conference on Tuesday announcing the charges, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other top law enforcement officials said Mangione intended to intimidate and “evoke terror” with the killing. After Thompson’s killing, security firms were inundated with calls from concerned corporations, according to the CNN report, asking to help keep their business leaders safe. “Let me say this plainly, there is no heroism in what Mangione did,” said NYPD Commissioner Tisch. “This was a senseless act of violence.”However, some legal experts contend prosecutors in New York overreached by charging Mangione with terrorism in the indictment. It doesn’t appear from a defense attorney’s perspective that this was intended to be a terroristic type of murder,” Schneider said.

CNN —Luigi Mangione has been indicted for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan earlier this month, according to newly released court documents. A Manhattan grand jury indicted Mangione of second-degree murder as a crime of terrorism, according to the indictment. Mangione faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, if convicted, according to Bragg’s office. The habeas corpus petition is a key factor in whether Mangione can be extradited to New York. In the weeks since Thompson’s killing, officials have seen a “shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder,” Tisch said on Tuesday.

Oftentimes, law enforcement designates these individuals as voluntary missing persons, McCabe said. This month, Kobayashi was declared a voluntary missing person after Los Angeles police say she traveled to the US-Mexico border and crossed into Mexico alone. SometimesLocal law enforcement agencies across the country are responsible for investigating missing persons cases, according to McCabe. Missing persons investigations often involve forensic analysis, gathering cell phone data and requesting search warrants, he said. For every voluntary missing person who is found, there is another who is never located.

But on Friday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said he’s seen signs Mangione could soon waive his right to fight extradition. Investigators found a three-page handwritten “claim of responsibility” and writings in a spiral notebook, a law enforcement source briefed on the matter told CNN. If convicted of second-degree murder in New York, Mangione would face 15 years to life in prison. In a notebook passage, he mused what could be better than “to kill the CEO at his own bean counting conference,” a law enforcement official briefed on the matter told CNN. In some of his writings, Mangione referenced pain from a back injury he got in July 2023, Kenny said.

☆ The next steps in Luigi Mangione’s case and why his most serious charge is only second-degree murder

Investigators say they have mounting evidence against Luigi Mangione, 26, connecting him to the assassination of Brian Thompson on December 4. Mangione was denied bail on Tuesday and is fighting his extradition to New York, where he faces five charges, including second-degree murder, in Thompson’s killing. If convicted of second-degree murder, Mangione faces at least 15 years to life in prison, while a first-degree murder charge carries a minimum of 20 years to life in prison. A second-degree murder charge – but not first-degree murder – allows the defendant an “affirmative defense,” which is essentially a “Yes, but” argument to lessen the seriousness of the charge to first-degree manslaughter, according to Shapiro. Mangione’s arrest is only the first piece of the case against him, according to Ken Corey, former NYPD chief of department.

Neither Mangione, nor his mother, were insured by UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest private health insurer, a UnitedHealth Group spokesperson told CNN. So that’s possibly why he targeted that company,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said in an interview with NBC New York. Witty said the company’s mission is to help make the health system “work better” and “find ways to deliver high-quality care and lower costs.”“Clearly, we are not there yet,” he said. Investigators also searched the hostel where suspected killer Mangione stayed the night before the shooting and the hotel room where Thompson was staying while in New York. Mangione is being held at the Pennsylvania state correctional institution at Huntingdon, the oldest operating state prison in the state.
