The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Luigi Mangione, 28, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to federal stalking charges in the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, admitting, “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.” He said he posed as a potential investor to find the location of UnitedHealthcare’s Dec. 4, 2024, investor conference, where Thompson was scheduled to speak. The plea resolves the federal case and leaves Mangione facing up to life in prison at sentencing in December. His lawyers moved to dismiss the separate New York state murder case on double jeopardy grounds.
