Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, faces four new federal charges, newly unsealed court documents show.
Mangione was already facing state charges in New York and Pennsylvania, but the newly filed federal charge of murder through use of a firearm could enable authorities to seek the death penalty.
He also faces a federal firearms charge and two counts of stalking, according to the unsealed complaint, which was posted by Courthouse News Service .
Mangione is accused of gunning down Thompson outside New York Hilton Midtown, where the CEO was set to address an annual investors meeting. The killing captivated nationwide attention as authorities for days searched for the suspect before locating Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa.
Mangione was transported from Pennsylvania to New York on Thursday after he waived his extradition.
The new federal complaint also reveals new details about an alleged notebook Mangione possessed, saying it “contained several handwritten pages that express hostility towards the health insurance industry and wealthy executives in particular.”
