NEW YORK -- Luigi Mangione is due in a New York courtroom Monday to face state charges in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month outside a Manhattan hotel.
State prosecutors allege Mangione was found in possession of the murder weapon, and surveillance videos show a man matching his description before and after the attack, including outside the Hilton where Thompson was shot in the back.
Mangione is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after he appeared in federal court last week.
