Luigi Mangione has been indicted on murder charges for gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Tuesday.
A New York grand jury has charged Mangione, 26, with first- and second-degree murder charges and other related charges for the cold-blooded slaying of the 50-year-old CEO outside a Midtown hotel on Dec. 4, prosecutors said.
“We allege that Luigi Mangione carried out the brazen, targeted and fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan,” Bragg said.
“This type of premeditated, targeted gun violence cannot and will not be tolerated, and my office has been working day in and day out to bring the defendant to justice.”
