· KRGV (NBC 5)
Luigi Mangione, 28, pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges related to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City in December 2024. Mangione admitted to using a 3D-printed gun to kill Thompson after posing as an investor to gain access to an event. Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence, with sentencing scheduled for December 18. Mangione also faces a separate state murder charge. His defense argues that he should not be tried twice for the same incident, while authorities maintain that his grievances against the health insurance system do not justify his actions. Thompson's family views the plea as a step toward justice.
