The indictment from the New York State Supreme Court charges Mangione with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder, among other charges.
Luigi Mangione, the man arrested in connection with the assassination-style shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been indicted on multiple charges including murder.
The indictment from the New York State Supreme Court charges Mangione with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is murder in the act of terrorism. He was also charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, one count of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and one count of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, NBC News reported.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Mangione had been charged for the "brazen, targeted, and premeditated shooting of Brian Thompson."
A spokesperson for New York Governor Kathy Hochul told the outlet that she would be filing an extradition order and paperwork as soon as the indictment was handed down.
Thomas Dickey, Mangione’s Pennsylvania attorney, said that Mangione would plead not guilty in both the Pennsylvania case, where he was charged with forgery and carrying a firearm without a license as well as other charges, and the New York case. Karen Friedman Agnifilo has been retained to represent Mangione in the New York case.
On December 4, Thompson was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel. Four days later Mangione was taken into custody in Pennsylvania after a McDonald's worker recognized him from photos released by police.
A handwritten manifesto allegedly written by Mangione declared that he wasn’t working with anyone, and stated, "I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy."
"United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but [has] our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument."
