A New York federal grand jury indicted 26-year-old Luigi Mangione on four counts Thursday due to his alleged connection to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.

In a New York Southern District Court filing submitted Thursday evening, the jury charged Mangione with two counts of stalking — one through traveling in interstate commerce and the other for the use of interstate commerce — one count of murder through use of a firearm and a fourth count for a firearms offense. The four counts come after the 26-year-old was originally charged in December 2024 with murder in the first degree, in furtherance of an act of terrorism, by the County of New York.

Thompson was gunned down outside his New York City hotel on Dec. 4, leading to a manhunt to find the killer. Officials eventually identified Mangione as the suspect, tracking him to Altoona, Pa., where he was arrested on Dec. 9.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on April 1 that she would lead the Department of Justice (DOJ) in seeking the death penalty against Mangione after “careful consideration.”

“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,” Bondi wrote. “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.”

In a statement, Mangione’s attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo criticized the DOJ’s decision to seek the death penalty as a “barbaric” move, adding that they’re defending “the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people.”

“This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life,” Agnifilo said on April 1.

Mangione’s lawyers have accused Bondi of violating established protocols by announcing the decision without giving the defense a fair chance, according to a recent filing cited by the New York Times. The lawyers have also asked that prosecutors be prevented from seeking the death penalty against the alleged assassin.
