Luigi Mangione could face death penalty if convicted of federal murder charge

NEW YORK (AP) — The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was whisked back to New York on a plane and by helicopter Thursday to face new federal charges of stalking and murder, which could bring the death penalty if he's convicted.

Luigi Mangione agreed to return to New York after a morning court appearance in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested last week five days after the shooting of Brian Thompson. Mangione appeared in a Manhattan federal court for an afternoon hearing where a magistrate ordered he be detained.
