Luigi Mangione被控跟踪并枪杀联合健康集团首席执行官：联邦四项指控最高可判死刑
美国司法部纽约南区联邦检察官办公室12月19日宣布，联邦检方当天解封刑事诉状，指控26岁的 Luigi Nicholas Mangione 与12月4日联合健康集团（UnitedHealthcare）高管 Brian Thompson 在纽约州纽约市曼哈顿中城遇害一案有关。Mangione 当天被转入联邦羁押，下午在曼哈顿联邦法院、地方法官 Katharine H. Parker 面前出庭。
诉状共列四项罪名：以枪支实施谋杀，最高可判死刑或终身监禁；跨州跟踪致人死亡，最高可判终身监禁；利用跨州设施跟踪致人死亡，最高可判终身监禁；以及在暴力犯罪中使用装有消音器的枪支开火，最高可判终身监禁、强制最低刑期30年。诉状只是指控，Mangione 在被法庭证明有罪之前依法被推定无罪。
据诉状，Mangione 数月来精心策划这起袭击，以引发公众对医疗保健行业的讨论为动机，锁定 Thompson 并追踪其行踪，从外州赶到纽约市——Thompson 当时正要出席公司的投资者会议。Mangione 于11月24日抵达纽约，提前一周多在受害人下榻酒店与会议场馆周边踩点，并以假身份证入住上西区一家旅舍。
据诉状，12月4日清晨，Mangione 骑自行车从上西区来到西54街与第六大道附近，约6时45分守在两辆汽车之间，待 Thompson 经过时从其身后走近，以一把装有消音器的9毫米手枪连开数枪致其死亡，随后骑车向北经中央公园逃回上西区。
12月9日，Mangione 在宾夕法尼亚州布莱尔县 Altoona 市一家快餐店内被店员认出，当地警察到场盘查时，他出示了与入住纽约旅舍时同一张假身份证；执法人员还查获一把9毫米手枪与一个消音器，与杀害 Thompson 的武器相符。
纽约南区代理联邦检察官 Edward Y. Kim 表示，Thompson 是在曼哈顿中城街头行走时被冷血枪杀的，据指控仅仅因为他是医疗保险公司的首席执行官；这不是辩论，而是谋杀。司法部长 Merrick B. Garland 表示，据指控 Mangione 策划袭击数月、跟踪受害人数日，司法部感谢州与地方执法伙伴将其抓获归案。
据司法部，曼哈顿地区检察官办公室已就同一事件对 Mangione 另行提起州级起诉，预计州案将先于联邦案进入审判。本案由联邦调查局（FBI）暴力犯罪工作组与纽约市警察局调查，承办检察官为助理联邦检察官 Dominic A. Gentile、Jun Xiang 与 Alexandra Messiter。（来源：美国司法部）
Luigi Mangione Charged With Stalking and Murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO: Four Federal Counts, One Punishable by Death
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced on December 19 the unsealing of a federal criminal complaint charging Luigi Nicholas Mangione, 26, in connection with the December 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, New York. Mangione was taken into federal custody that day and was presented that afternoon in Manhattan federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker.
The complaint charges four counts: using a firearm to commit murder, which carries a maximum potential sentence of death or life in prison; interstate stalking resulting in death, which carries a maximum of life in prison; stalking through use of interstate facilities resulting in death, which carries a maximum of life in prison; and discharging a firearm equipped with a silencer in furtherance of a crime of violence, which carries a maximum of life in prison and a mandatory minimum of 30 years. The charges in a complaint are merely accusations, and Mangione is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
As alleged in the complaint, over the course of several months Mangione meticulously planned the execution of Thompson in an effort to initiate a public discussion about the healthcare industry. He targeted Thompson, tracked his whereabouts, and traveled from out of state to New York City, where Thompson was scheduled to attend the company's investor conference. After arriving on November 24, 2024, more than a week before the murder, Mangione performed reconnaissance around the victim's hotel and the conference venue, and checked into an Upper West Side hostel using a false identification.
In the early morning hours of December 4, 2024, Mangione traveled by bicycle from the Upper West Side to the area around West 54th Street and Sixth Avenue. At approximately 6:45 a.m., he placed himself between two cars on West 54th Street and, as Thompson passed by, walked up behind him and fired several gunshots from a 9mm pistol equipped with what appeared to be a silencer, causing Thompson's death. He then fled on his bicycle northbound through Central Park and back to the Upper West Side.
On December 9, 2024, Mangione was arrested in Altoona, in Blair County, Pennsylvania, while sitting in a fast-food restaurant after being recognized by one of the restaurant's workers. Altoona police confronted him; he provided the same false identification he had used at the New York hostel, and he was also found in possession of a 9mm pistol and a sound suppressor consistent with the weapon used to kill Thompson.
Acting U.S. Attorney Edward Y. Kim said Thompson was gunned down in cold blood as he walked down a street in Midtown Manhattan and was allegedly killed just because he held the position of chief executive officer of a health insurance company, adding that this was not a debate but murder. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said Mangione allegedly planned his attack for months and stalked his victim for days, and thanked state and local law enforcement partners for locating and apprehending him.
According to the Justice Department, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has brought a separate state prosecution against Mangione, which is currently expected to proceed to trial before the federal case. The case is being investigated by the FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force and the NYPD, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dominic A. Gentile, Jun Xiang, and Alexandra Messiter.
