Luigi Mangionethe 26-year-old suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompsonis reportedly facing federal charges of murder, multiple outlets reported Thursday, a move that may allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty. An unsealed federal criminal complaint showed Mangione is being charged with murder through use of a firearm, two stalking charges and a firearm offense, CNN reported. Federal prosecutors reportedly claimed jurisdiction in the case because of Mangiones travel in interstate commerce and use of interstate facilities, referring to him travelling to New York and him allegedly using a cell phone and internet to plan the shooting, CNN reported. The federal criminal complaint gives more insight into the notebook that was found on Mangione at the time of his arrest: Mangione reportedly wrote about his intent to wack a CEO of an insurance company at its investor conference and wrote, this investor conference is a true windfall ... and most importantly the message becomes self evident, according to the Associated Press.

Mangione already faces weapons-related charges in Pennsylvaniawhere he was recognized and arrestedand first- and second-degree murder charges in New York where the alleged crime was committed, but where the death penalty is not available. Whether federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty. The death penalty is not an option in New York nor Pennsylvania, and The New York Times reported any decision about the death penalty will likely be made by the Justice Department after President-elect Donald Trump is in office.
