Luigi Mangione, the liberal heartthrob accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4th, 2024, is facing the gravest of scenarios as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi prepares to prosecute him on charges of murder, terrorism, and stalking.

In a statement on Tuesday, Bondi said she will be seeking the death penalty for Mangione, 26, who is accused of allegedly stalking Thompson outside the New York Hilton Midtown in the early morning hours and shooting him at close range multiple times with a homemade pistol. Investigators say Mangione fled the scene on an electric scooter and managed to evade capture for four days.

“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said. “After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”

In a press release, the U.S. Justice Department described Mangione’s alleged shooting as “an act of political violence.”

“Mangione’s actions involved substantial planning and premeditation and because the murder took place in public with bystanders nearby, may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons,” it adds.

Bondi has tasked Acting U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolsky with prosecuting Mangione in the blockbuster case. A date is yet to be set while his defense lawyers haggle with the judge and prosecution over the terms of evidence and witnesses in the trial.

The decision to seek the death penalty is all but certainly a directive from President Donald Trump, who said in December that anyone who cheered the killing of Thompson suffers from a mental “sickness.”

“I think it’s really terrible that some people seem to admire him, like him,” Trump said, People reported at the time. “And I was happy to see that it wasn’t specific to this gentleman that was killed. It’s just an overall sickness, as opposed to a specific sickness. That was a terrible thing.”

He continued, “It was cold-blooded. Just a cold-blooded, horrible killing. And how people can like this guy is— that’s a sickness, actually.”

Thompson was 50 when he died and left behind his wife Paulette and two sons. Although the couple were estranged, she described him as a loving father who doted over their boys.

Those who knew Thompson said he was intent on governing UnitedHealthcare through a tumultuous time in the U.S. healthcare market and was sympathetic to Americans’ anger at rising premiums and denial of coverage. Following the killing, a spokesman for the company strongly refuted the widespread allegation that UnitedHealthcare led the country in denials of claims.
