Murder charge filed against UnitedHealthcare CEO suspect in New York

A murder charge was filed in New York on Monday night against the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week outside a busy New York City hotel, according to online court documents.

Hours before the murder and weapons charges were filed in New York, Luigi Mangione, 26, appeared in court for a preliminary arraignment in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested earlier in the day at a McDonald's restaurant in Altoona. There, he was charged with two felonies — forgery and carrying a firearm without a license — and three misdemeanors: tampering with records or identification, possessing instruments of crime and providing false identification to law enforcement.

Daniel Penny was acquitted Monday of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with a history of mental illness whose final moments on a New York City subway train were captured on bystander video that set off weeks of protests and captured national attention.

The decision, on the fifth day of deliberations, came after the jury deadlocked Friday on the more serious charge of manslaughter leading the judge to dismiss it. Penny faces up to four years in prison.
