NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� The man accused of killing has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from from a Pennsylvania jail.
Luigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the Dec. 4 killing of Brian Thompson, but the indictment could help move along the suspect.
Mangione鈥檚 New York lawyer hasn鈥檛 commented on the case.
Thompson, 50, was shot dead on a Manhattan street as he walked to a hotel where Minnesota-based UnitedHealthcare 鈥� the United States' biggest medical insurer 鈥� was holding an investor conference.
After days of intense police searches and publicity, Mangione was arrested on Dec. 9 after being spotted in a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. New York police officials have said Mangione was carrying used in Thompson's killing, a passport and various fake IDs, including the one that the suspected shooter presented to check into a New York hostel.
