Luigi Mangione was extradited to New York on Thursday where he faces state and now also federal charges in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The 26-year-old was taken to Manhattan after waving his right to an extradition hearing during a morning court appearance in Pennsylvania, the state where he was arrested on Dec. 9 after a five-day search. In exchange for also waiving a preliminary hearing on Pennsylvania charges filed against him, prosecutors gave him a 20-page investigative report from the Altoona Police Department, according to The Associated Press.
He flew to Long Island and was then taken by helicopter to lower Manhattan, where he was escorted into the city by numerous law enforcement officers, as well as New York Mayor Eric Adams.
