NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of a UnitedHealth executive, will appear in New York court, after being extradited from Pennsylvania.
The suspect accused of shooting dead healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York has dropped his legal challenge against being extradited to the city to face murder charges
Luigi Mangione is now in NYPD custody and is expected to be flown from Pennsylvania - where he was arrested - to face charges including first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder, one of which describes the killing as an act of "terrorism"
The suspect charged with shooting to death a health insurance company chief executive on a Manhattan street will be taken Thursday morning to hearings on related Pennsylvania criminal charges and efforts to extradite him to New York.
The preliminary hearing on forgery and firearms charges and consideration of a fugitive from justice complaint against Luigi Mangione may not take long.
He is expected to waive extradition, clearing the way for his return to New York, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the case and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.
Court officials said Mangione will attend the early morning proceedings at the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg. If a judge authorizes his extradition, Mangione would then be brought to New York, where he could appear in state court for arraignment Thursday afternoon or Friday
