Luigi Mangione admits killing insurance CEO, pleads guilty in federal case
Mangione, 28, had previously pleaded not guilty in April 2025 to murder, weapons, and stalking charges brought by Manhattan federal prosecutors.
Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty on Friday to two federal charges of stalking and killing health insurance CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Mangione admitted, "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died," expressing criticism of the US health insurance system. This plea avoids a federal trial, with sentencing scheduled for December 18, where he faces a maximum of life in prison for each count. Following the plea, Mangione's lawyer filed a motion to dismiss separate state murder charges, citing New York's double jeopardy law. Thompson's family stated the plea was an "important step toward justice."
