Police claim that they have accumulated overwhelming evidence that Luigi Mangione fatally shot UnitedHealth Group Inc. executive Brian Thompson, in an early-morning killing on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk that reverberated across the US.

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal Midtown Manhattan shooting of a top UnitedHealth Group Inc. executive, will appear in court Thursday in Pennsylvania.

Luigi Mangione was formally indicted in New York on first-degree murder charges for the fatal shooting of UnitedHealth Group Inc. executive Brian Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel.

Luigi Mangione fue acusado formalmente en Nueva York de homicidio en primer grado por el tiroteo fatal del directivo de UnitedHealth Group Inc. Brian Thompson a la salida de un hotel en Manhattan.

The case was elevated to first-degree murder because Thompson was killed "in furtherance of an act of terrorism,” prosecutors said Tuesday in New York. Mangione faces as long as life in prison without the possibility of parole if he is convicted.

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal midtown Manhattan shooting of a top UnitedHealth Group Inc. executive, will be extradited to New York to face murder charges after he dropped his opposition to the move in court on Thursday.

Luigi Mangione was charged by federal prosecutors for this month’s killing of UnitedHealth Group Inc. executive Brian Thompson, increasing the potential punishment for the 26 year-old if he’s convicted of murder.
