Luigi Mangione is charged with second-degree murder in New York in connection with the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to an online court docket filed on Monday.
According to the docket, the 26-year-old also faces charges of possessing a loaded firearm, possessing a forged instrument, and criminal possession of a weapon.
The forged instrument is a fake New Jersey driver’s license, which he allegedly used to check into the Upper West Side hostel.
Mangione is still in the custody of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections awaiting extradition to New York.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has confirmed the charges. Court records explaining them will remain sealed until Mangione appears in court in New York at a later date.
Just hours after Mangione’s arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania, came the charges in New York.
A McDonald’s employee identified him based on police photographs of their person of interest in a “brazen, targeted” attack in Midtown Manhattan on December 4.
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections released Mangione’s mugshot on Monday evening.
He had been charged earlier in the day with five crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities, and possessing “instruments of crime,” according to the criminal complaint filed in Pennsylvania.
The charging document claimed that Mangione lied to police about his identity and carried the ghost gun without a license.
The gun and suppressor were “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said after Mangione was arrested on Monday.
Officers allegedly discovered a black 3-D printed pistol and a black silencer while searching Mangione’s backpack following his arrest, according to the criminal complaint.
“The pistol had a loaded Glock magazine containing six nine-millimeter full metal jack rounds. “There was also one loose nine-millimeter hollow point round,” the complaint states.
NYPD Chief of Detective Joe Kenny described the alleged weapon found on Mangione as a “ghost gun,” which had no serial number and was untraceable.
Mangione’s arrest also resulted in the discovery of several handwritten pages.
Kenny claimed that the document included writing that expressed “some ill will toward corporate America.”
Law enforcement sources told ABC News that the writings specifically mention UnitedHealthcare.
The sources described the handwriting as sloppy and included quotes like “These parasites had it coming” and “I apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.”
Police are now investigating Mangione’s travels throughout the United States and outside of the country over the last year, according to sources.
