UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killed; suspect Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking
read at STAT ↗Negative
Luigi Mangione, 28, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to stalking charges tied to the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson.
He told the court he followed Thompson to an investor conference in December 2024, used a false pretense to obtain event details, and shot the CEO on a New York City street, causing his death.
The plea resolves one of two federal cases against Mangione. He faces sentencing on Dec. 18, where a life term is possible, and his lawyers may seek to have a separate New York state murder charge dismissed.
