Luigi Mangione, the suspected murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was escorted to a New York courtroom where he pleaded not guilty to state murder and terrorism charges.
Monday’s hearing marked the first time that Mangione formally addressed the charges brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
The 26-year-old faces 11 charges in New York, including one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder, along with other gun possession and forgery charges.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed to CNN who is coordinating with federal authorities on Mangione’s charges.
Last week, the suspect gave up his attempt not to be transferred from Pennsylvania to New York. He landed in Manhattan surrounded by dozens of heavily armed police officers and the city’s mayor.
