HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa.—A Pennsylvania judge ordered Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to face trial in New York after a Dec. 19 hearing in a Pennsylvania court.

Blair County Court of Common Pleas Judge David Consiglio verbally issued an order after Mangione’s attorney, Thomas Dickey, said the defense agreed to a waiver of extradition.
