Luigi Mangione Pleads to Stalking | San Antonio News

Luigi Mangione just pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — but the real drama’s far from over. He still faces state murder charges with trial set for September 8th. The chilling timeline: Mangione arrived in NYC under a fake ID, allegedly targeting Thompson during his visit. After the shooting, police found a backpack in Central Park stuffed with Monopoly money and a jacket. He was nabbed in Altoona, PA, on Dec 9th, revealing his identity after initially lying — cops found a 3D-printed gun matching the murder weapon and a notebook declaring intent to “wack” an executive. Charges got messy: federal death penalty dropped in January 2026, terrorism charges dismissed in Sept 2024, but murder remains. Mangione even flirted with a psychiatric defense before backing off. Now, with federal stalking settled, all eyes turn to the high-stakes state trial — where the truth may finally be revealed.
