Luigi Mangione, the individual accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, now faces new federal murder and stalking charges. Federal prosecutors have indicated they may seek the death penalty in this case.

The federal charges include murder through the use of a firearm and using a firearm silencer during a violent crime. This is a significant escalation from the state charges, as New York state law does not permit the death penalty.

Mangione's notebook, found upon his arrest, reportedly expressed hostility toward the health insurance industry and wealthy executives. This aspect of the case continues to draw public attention to broader frustrations with the U.S. healthcare system.
