Luigi Mangione, 28, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Officer Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024[2]. In his admission, Mangione stated: "I emailed UnitedHealthcare with the intent to shoot Brian Thompson. On the morning of Dec. 4, 2024 I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan in his back."[2]
The shooting occurred at a hotel in Midtown Manhattan[2]. Mangione used a 3D-printed gun equipped with a silencer and magazine to carry out the attack[2]. He faces up to life imprisonment on federal charges related to interstate stalking resulting in death, with sentencing scheduled for December 18, 2024[2]. Federal prosecutors have recommended a sentence of 24 to 30 years[2].
Mangione attributed his motivation to long-term severe pain from a back injury, which he said generated resentment toward the healthcare system[2]. Thompson, 50, was a father of two[2]. In addition to the federal case, Mangione faces eight state charges, including second-degree murder, falsifying documents, and six counts of illegal weapon possession[2]. The state trial is expected to begin in September[2].
