Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is set to appear in Manhattan federal court on Monday. The court appearance is tied to managing the timeline of his federal case, which is currently scheduled for October but could shift to earlier in 2027, according to one report.
Mangione has pleaded not guilty in both the state and federal matters. In the state case, prosecutors accuse him of murder and weapons offenses connected to Thompson’s killing on a New York City street on December 4, 2024. In the federal case, he faces stalking-related charges.
Several outlets report that attempts to resolve the matter through plea discussions did not produce a deal, and Mangione returns to court following the breakdown of those negotiations. Monday’s proceeding focuses on procedural issues, including establishing or adjusting the schedule for the federal trial. No agreement is reported to be in place as of the planned appearance.
