The suspect, Luigi Mangione, has been indicted on three murder charges, two of which classify the act as terrorism, raising the stakes for potential penalties.
Prosecutors are considering federal charges which may include seeking the death penalty, a possibility that was eliminated under state law in New York for decades.
Danielle Filson stated that the Manhattan D.A.'s office, in partnership with the N.Y.P.D., aims to ensure justice for the 'heinous' shooting of Brian Thompson.
The highest potential penalty for Mr. Mangione in state court is life imprisonment without parole, as the state case proceeds alongside a potential federal case.
