THE man accused of assassinating the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare has returned to court after being indicted by New York City prosecutors for the brazen killing.
Luigi Mangione was escorted into a Pennsylvania courtroom on Thursday, where he is expected to waive his extradition to New York.
Mangione, 26, was charged with 11 criminal counts, including first-degree murder in what Manhattan prosecutors said was part of an act of terrorism.
“This was a killing to invoke terror,” Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, said on Tuesday.
“This was not an ordinary killing, not to suggest that any killing is ordinary, but this was extraordinary, and the New York State Legislature has set out both the paths, both the murder one and murder two.
“And this, we alleged, is squarely within those statutes which talk about intending to do exactly what we saw happen here.”
The suspect is accused of assassinating healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown while the executive was on his way to an investor meeting on the morning of December 4.
Mangione fired three shots at Thompson using an alleged 3D-printed ghost gun, striking the executive in the back and leg.
Bragg said Mangione methodically carried out the brazen, “well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock, and attention, and intimidation.”
