Kathy Hochul is expected to file paperwork seeking Mangione&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/12\/10\/luigi-mangione-extradition-brian-thompson.html\">extradition<\/a> from Pennsylvania, where the Ivy League graduate has been held since he was arrested last week at a McDonald&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p>A source familiar with the situation told NBC News on Tuesday that Mangione plans to waive extradition, which would allow him to be transported to New York within days.<\/p>\n<p>Mangione, who comes from a prominent Baltimore-area family, faces a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted.<\/p>\n<p>He is accused of fatally shooting Thompson with a 9mm handgun equipped with a silencer on Dec. 4 outside the Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson, 50, was headed into the hotel for an investor day event for his company&#8217;s parent, <span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"RegularArticle-QuoteInBody-6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/UNH\/\">UnitedHealth Group<\/a><span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"\/><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a killing to evoke terror,&#8221; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a news conference to announce the 11-count indictment. &#8220;This was not an ordinary killing &#8230; this was extraordinary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bragg called the killing &#8220;brazen&#8221; and &#8220;targeted.<\/p>\n<p>He also said &#8220;we have indications&#8221; that Mangione will waive his right to an extradition hearing on Thursday in Pennsylvania, and consent to be sent to New York to face the murder case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fm.cnbc.com\/applications\/cnbc.com\/resources\/editorialfiles\/2024\/12\/17\/Mangione-Indictment-FINAL-as-filed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full indictment.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that in the nearly two weeks since Thompson&#8217;s killing &#8220;we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tisch was referencing the fact that Mangione has become a folk hero to some people who praised Thompson&#8217;s slaying because of criticism that his company, the largest private health insurer in the United States, denied benefit claims by customers at a high rate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Social media has erupted with praise for this cowardly attack. People ghoulishly plastered posters threatening the CEOs, other CEOs, with an &#8216;x&#8217; over Mr. Thompson&#8217;s picture as though he was some sort of a sick trophy,&#8221; Tisch said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; These are the threats of a lawless, violent mob who would trade in their own vigilantism for the rule of law that protects us all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let me say this plainly, there is no heroism in what Mangione did,&#8221; the commissioner said. &#8220;This was a senseless act of violence. It was a cold and calculated crime that stole a life and put New Yorkers at risk. We don&#8217;t celebrate murders, and we don&#8217;t lionize the killing of anyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mangione was arrested Dec. 9 at a McDonald&#8217;s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after police responded to a call of a suspicious person at the restaurant. He allegedly gave officers a fake New Jersey ID that is believed to be the same one he used to check into a Manhattan hostel in late November.<\/p>\n<p>Police found a gun, a silencer, and 9mm ammunition in his backpack. The gun matched three shell casings found outside the shooting scene in Manhattan, and Mangione&#8217;s fingerprints matched ones found on a water bottle and snack bar left near the scene, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-imageEmbed\" id=\"ArticleBody-InlineImage-108073370\" data-test=\"InlineImage\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<p>UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson (L) and Luigi Mangione (R).<\/p>\n<p>Source: UnitedHealthcare (L) | NYPD (R)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>The shell casings found at the scene had the words &#8220;deny,&#8221; and &#8220;depose,&#8221; written on them, while an unfired bullet had the word &#8220;delay&#8221; written on it, the DA&#8217;s office said.
