Luigi Mangione在曼哈顿联邦法院就与UnitedHealthcare首席执行官Brian Thompson遇害案相关的联邦跟踪罪认罪[1][3]。在法庭上，Mangione表示"I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan"[1]。根据检控官指控，Mangione于2024年12月4日在曼哈顿酒店外开枪射杀了50岁的Thompson[1][3]。联邦法官已接受其认罪陈述，并驳回了谋杀和武器指控，仅保留跟踪罪[1][3]。
Mangione的宣判定于2026年12月进行[1][3]。与此同时，他仍面临纽约州法院的单独谋杀、武器和伪造罪指控[1][3]，州谋杀罪案定于2026年9月8日开庭[2]。Mangione于2024年12月9日在宾夕法尼亚州Altoona的麦当劳被捕[2]。此前，时任美国司法部长Pam Bondi曾于2025年4月1日宣布寻求对Mangione判处死刑，称该杀害为"有预谋、冷血的谋杀，震惊美国"和"政治暴力行为"[2]。但2026年1月30日，联邦法官禁止检控官寻求死刑[2]；2025年9月16日，州法官Gregory Carro撤销恐怖主义指控[2]。
Luigi Mangione entered a guilty plea to federal stalking charges in Manhattan federal court related to the death of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Officer Brian Thompson [1][3]. Prosecutors stated that Mangione fatally shot the 50-year-old Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4, 2024 [1][3]. During his court appearance, Mangione declared, "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan" [1][3]. The federal judge accepted his guilty plea, with sentencing scheduled for December 2026 [1][3].
The federal judge dismissed murder and weapons charges against Mangione, allowing only the stalking conviction to proceed [1][3]. However, Mangione continues to face separate murder, weapons, and forgery charges in New York State court [1][3]. Mangione was arrested on December 9, 2024, in Altoona, Pennsylvania at a McDonald's [2]. The state murder trial is scheduled to begin on September 8, 2026 [2]. On January 30, 2026, the federal judge had blocked prosecutors from seeking the death penalty [2].
