Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will face federal murder and stalking charges in addition to those he is currently contesting in New York and Pennsylvania.

Mangione, 26, was already facing a potential maximum sentence of life in prison for the state charges, which include first- and second-degree murder as an act of terrorism, criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal possession of a forged instrument. He has also been indicted on gun charges in Pennsylvania.
