Luigi Mangione

Luigi Mangione, a 27-year-old man, is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024, a case that garnered national attention. He was apprehended at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a five-day manhunt. Recently, a judge ruled that Mangione will not face the death penalty, dismissing a federal murder charge that allowed prosecutors to seek capital punishment. Jury selection for his federal murder trial is scheduled for September 8th. In a related incident, a man named Mark Anderson was arrested for impersonating an FBI agent in an attempt to free Mangione from the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York. Evidence hearings have been held, including the presentation of body camera footage from Mangione's arrest at McDonald's. The case remains significant due to the high-profile nature of the victim and the severity of the alleged crime.
