Luigi Mangione has arrived in New York to face state and federal charges after being extradited from Pennsylvania.
The suspected killer in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was spotted arriving in New York City Thursday, just hours after appearing in a Pennsylvania court where he formally waived extradition.

Luigi, sporting his fresh shave and new haircut, looked somber as he was led into a secure police vehicle. NYC Mayor Eric Adams was among the dozens of law enforcement personnel who escorted Mangione from a helicopter to the awaiting vehicle.
As we’ve reported, Mangione is accused of fatally shooting Thompson earlier this month outside a hotel in Manhattan, and five days later, he was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA.
Luigi is facing charges in both states — first-degree murder and gun charges in NY related to Thompson’s death, and gun and fake-ID charges in PA.
Mangione is also reportedly facing federal criminal charges related to the Thompson murder, but that indictment remains sealed for now.
