Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty on Aug. 14, 2026 to federal stalking charges in the December 2024 killing of former UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He told the court he acted after years of pain from a broken back and frustration with the health insurance system.
The words 'deny,' 'defend' and 'depose' were reportedly engraved on the bullet casings used in the shooting, phrasing some attorneys associate with how insurers handle claims. Mangione, 28, is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 18, 2026.
