Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. The 26-year-old accused of killing the CEO of United Health Care in New York City now faces federal charges and if convicted could be sentenced to death. Samantha Max of Member Station WNYC has more.

Federal prosecutors charged Luigi Mangione with murder, firearm, and stalking charges.

They say he took a bus to New York City and waited outside a hotel where CEO Brian Thompson

was staying for an investor conference. Then prosecutors say Mangione shot the CEO with an untraceable

ghost gun and fled to Pennsylvania.

A new criminal complaint cites a letter addressed, quote, to the feds that police found after

Mangione was already facing state charges in New York and Pennsylvania, including for murder

as an act of terrorism.

His attorney said in court that she was caught off guard by the federal charges.
