Suspect in CEO shooting to plead not guilty and fight extradition, lawyer says

Suspect shouted outside court before hearing where he was denied bail

The suspect in the shooting death of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, shouted: “This is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people” on Tuesday before he fought being extradited from Pennsylvania to face murder charges in New York.

During the hearing, Luigi Mangione was denied bail, meaning he will return to custody at Pennsylvania’s Huntingdon state correctional institution while navigating the process to contest extradition, which could take days – if not a month or more, as the New York Times noted.
