During a news conference, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg stated, "This was a killing that was intended to evoke terror. This reflects a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation."
Luigi Mangione, who pleaded not guilty to murder and terror charges, is accused of fatally shooting Brian Thompson as he was walking to an investor conference in Manhattan.
Mangione's case will run parallel to his federal prosecution, where charges may include the possibility of the death penalty, while he faces life in prison without parole on state charges.
Following his arrest, Mangione was found with a gun matching the shooting, a fake ID, and a notebook expressing hostility towards the health insurance industry.
