Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to two stalking charges connected to the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan.

Mangione had told prosecutors he tried to obtain conference details from insurers by posing as an investor, a detail cited during the proceedings.
