Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shot outside a Manhattan hotel. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the decision to seek the death penalty due to the premeditated nature of the crime, emphasizing the tragic impact on Thompson's family. Mangione reportedly harbored animosity towards the insurance industry, as indicated by a notebook expressing intent to target executives. He has pleaded not guilty to state charges and has not yet entered a plea for federal charges, which also carry significant penalties.
"Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson - an innocent man and father of two young children - was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America."
"After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."
