The case of Luigi Mangione has captured national attention after federal prosecutors formally announced their intention to seek the death penalty against him, which would mark the first federal execution in New York City in 70 years. Mangione, 26 years old and from a wealthy family in Maryland, is accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in an act authorities describe as a premeditated murder with ideological motivations. The crime occurred on December 4, 2024, in front of the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan, where the parent company's annual investor conference was being held.
