Luigi Mangione was indicted in New York over United Health CEO killing. What are the charges?

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, faces 11 separate charges in New York, including two terrorism-related counts, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Tuesday.

The charges focus not just on what 26-year-old Mangione is accused of doing to Thompson in the early morning hours of Dec. 4, but also on how Mangione allegedly went about doing it. They include several different gun charges and a charge tied to the fake New Jersey driver's license Mangione allegedly used to hide who he really was.

If convicted on all 11 counts, Mangione faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.

The law firm for Mangione's lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, declined to comment.

Here's a look at the charges and what kind of penalty Mangione could face:

Murder charges: Why is Mangione accused of terrorism?

Mangione is facing three separate murder charges in the killing of Thompson, who was walking toward the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan when he was gunned down on a sidewalk.

One of those charges is murder in the first degree, which requires a defendant to not only have intentionally caused someone else's death, but also be more than 18 years old or have committed the crime in a way that enhances its seriousness.

In Mangione's case, prosecutors say the first-degree charge is warranted both because Mangione is older than 18 and because he allegedly killed Thompson "in furtherance of an act of terrorism."

Mangione's actions "were intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion, and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping," according to the indictment.

Mangione is also accused of second-degree murder for allegedly intentionally causing Thompson's death, and of second-degree murder that is specifically committed as a crime of terrorism.

Gun and fake ID charges: Mangione allegedly had a 'ghost gun'

Mangione is facing seven separate gun charges in New York after, according to prosecutors, he used a 9-millimeter 3D-printed "ghost gun" fitted with a silencer to carry out the attack. A ghost gun is a homemade gun that doesn't have a serial number.

The charges reflect several different ways that a gun and its accessories can be illegal in New York. For instance, Mangione allegedly had large-capacity magazines to feed ammunition into the gun, according to the indictment. Each of those allegations prompted illegal weapon possession charges for him.

Mangione also faces illegal weapon possession charges for allegedly having a silencer and an assault weapon, for having a loaded gun outside his home or business, and for planning to use a gun in his possession to commit a crime against another person.

To round out the gun charges, Mangione faces a weapons charge for the ghost gun that was allegedly in his possession in New York, before he was arrested in Pennsylvania.

Mangione is also charged with using a forged instrument to deceive or injure another person. That charge appears to reference prosecutors' contention that Mangione checked into a New York City hostel on Nov. 24 with a New Jersey ID using the name, "Mark Rosario," ahead of murdering Thompson.
