Federal prosecutors will pursue the death penalty for Luigi Mangione in the murder of a health insurance executive in New York, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Tuesday.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said she is directing prosecutors to seek Mangione’s execution “after careful consideration” in alignment with President Donald Trump’s mission “to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again” in a press release Tuesday. Mangione faces charges in federal, New York and Pennsylvania courts over the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December, a case that became a symbol of outrage toward America’s healthcare system.
“The murder was an act of political violence,” the DOJ said. “Mangione’s actions involved substantial planning and premeditation and because the murder took place in public with bystanders nearby, may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons.”
