Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty on Friday to two federal stalking charges tied to the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to a report by CNN. In court, Mangione admitted, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died,” adding that he “knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione’s legal team plans to seek dismissal of separate state murder charges on double jeopardy grounds, though a state trial is still scheduled to begin next month. Sentencing in the federal case is set for December 18.
