Luigi Mangione, accused of killing Brian Thompson, faces extradition hearing in Pennsylvania while New York authorities pursue murder charges.

Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is scheduled to appear in a Pennsylvania court on Thursday for a hearing on criminal charges and extradition proceedings. Mangione was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania , on December 9th with an untraceable firearm, silencer, and fake ID. While the Pennsylvania district attorney is willing to postpone local charges, New York authorities are pursuing a case against Mangione for the December 4th murder in Manhattan.
