Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO #breakingnews #luigimangione #truecrime #usa #trial Luigi Mangione has dramatically admitted to stalking and shooting dead Brian Thompson, the CEO of a US healthcare firm on a New York street. In a Manhattan courtroom, Mangione admitted he contacted UnitedHealthcare while posing as a shareholder to confirm Thompson’s attendance at a New York investors meeting, then shot him on 4 December 2024. Prosecutors are now seeking a life sentence at his federal sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for 18 December 2026. What happens next is just as significant. Even after this guilty plea, Mangione still faces separate charges in New York state court, including second-degree murder, weapon offences and possession of a forged instrument. Jury selection in that state case is due to begin on 8 September 2026, although his legal team is arguing that the federal plea should affect whether that trial proceeds as planned.
