This indictment supersedes that complaint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, said in a statement that Mangione had allegedly \u201ccarried out the brazen, targeted and fatal shooting\u201d and that \u201cthis 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\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Mangione\u2019s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/12\/17\/us\/luigi-mangione-ceo-shooting?Date=20241217&amp;Profile=CNN&amp;utm_content=1734467078&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">CNN<\/a> that Mangione does not plan to fight his upcoming extradition to New York. He is being held without bail and expected in a Blair county court in Pennsylvania on Thursday for an extradition hearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">A conviction of second-degree murder in New York would see Mangione serving 15 years to life in prison; a first-degree murder conviction would see a sentence of 20 years to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">The New York City police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, lambasted Mangione\u2019s supporters at a news conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cLet me say plainly: there is no heroism in what Mangione did,\u201d Tisch said. \u201cWe don\u2019t celebrate murders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">In the immediate aftermath of Thompson\u2019s killing, many Americans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/dec\/11\/health-reform-brian-thompson-shooting\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">defended<\/a> Mangione\u2019s alleged actions because they viewed Thompson \u2013 the CEO of a major healthcare insurer \u2013 as complicit in denying or deferring what they saw as needed care. While others have spoken out against the act of allegedly killing a father of two in cold blood, Mangione has been hailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/ng-interactive\/2024\/dec\/15\/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-shooting\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">as a Marxist folk hero<\/a> and a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2024\/dec\/12\/the-obsession-with-the-hot-assassin-reveals-a-disturbing-truth-about-celebrity-culture\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">hot assassin<\/a>\u201d, among many other titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Thompson, 50, was killed at gunpoint on 4 December in midtown Manhattan as he was walking to attend UnitedHealthcare\u2019s annual investors\u2019 meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">The suspect escaped the scene and fled on foot, later by ebike, to Central Park. After several days of a search in New York City, Mangione was found and reported to police while in a McDonald\u2019s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 9 December. Police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/dec\/09\/brian-thompson-shooting-suspect-mayor\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">found<\/a> Mangione in possession of a firearm suppressor, a mask consistent with that worn by the gunman, a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching the ID the man used to check into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/new-york\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">New York<\/a> City hostel before the shooting, and a handwritten document.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"582e9978-16a4-4acf-8524-f221e51efeab\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.EmbedBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><gu-island name=\"EmbedBlockComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;iframe src=\\&quot;https:\/\/embed.documentcloud.org\/documents\/25460431-805918176-mangione-indictment-december-17-2024\/?embed=1&amp;width=500&amp;height=500&amp;title=1\\&quot; width=\\&quot;500\\&quot; height=\\&quot;500\\&quot; style=\\&quot;border: 1px solid #D8DEE2; border-radius: 0.5rem;\\&quot; title=\\&quot;indictment\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;&quot;,&quot;isTracking&quot;:false,&quot;isMainMedia&quot;:false,&quot;source&quot;:&quot;DocumentCloud&quot;,&quot;sourceDomain&quot;:&quot;embed.documentcloud.org&quot;}\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/dec\/17\/luigi-mangione-indicted-murder-brian-thompson\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione, has been indicted by a New York grand jury on charges of murder.
