Luigi Mangione, accused in the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is in discussions about a possible plea deal on federal charges, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Mangione, 28, faces up to life in prison in the 2024 ambush-style killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York.

Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old who allegedly gunned down United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, has requested a surprise hearing on Friday morning.

The letter from DOJ prosecutors and defense attorneys for Mangione does not state a purpose for the meeting, only requesting that it occur.
