Grand jury indicts UnitedHealthcare CEO suspect on first-degree murder

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) announced Tuesday that a grand jury handed up an indictment against Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO.  

Mangione faces 11 charges, including first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder.

The first-degree murder charge, which carries up to life in prison without parole, requires an aggravated factor. The indictment describes the alleged murder as furthering of an act of terrorism, casting the killing as an attempt to “intimidate or coerce” civilians and influence the policies and conduct of the government.
