Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, is back in New York to face new federal charges of murder and stalking, escalating the case after his earlier indictment on state charges. Mangione agreed to return to New York after a morning court appearance at the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg. He was arrested at the Plank Road McDonald’s last week after five days on the run. He is expected in a Manhattan federal court this afternoon. The federal complaint unsealed today charges him with two counts of stalking and one count each of murder through use of a firearm and a firearms offense. Murder by firearm could bring the possibility of the death penalty. Prosecutors have not said whether the will seek that.
