Luigi Mangione has reportedly been placed in the same prison as Diddy while facing charges that could potentially result in the death penalty.

According to reports, Mangione is currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where Diddy is also incarcerated on sex trafficking charges.

Mangione, aged 26, is accused of shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Johnson in what authorities claim was a targeted attack. Johnson was shot twice in the back and once in the leg as he left the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan earlier this month.

Following the shooting, authorities received a tip-off from a McDonald’s employee in Altoona, Pennsylvania, who reported spotting a man resembling Mangione. The tip led to his arrest.

New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg addressed the press this week, stating that Mangione’s actions were intended to instill fear and chaos.

“This was a terrifying, well-orchestrated, and deliberate murder meant to cause shock, attention, and fear,” Bragg remarked.

Luigi Mangione allegedly shot and killed Brian Thompson.

The prosecutor continued, highlighting the danger to the public: “It took place in one of the busiest parts of our city, endangering residents, tourists, commuters, and businesspeople as they went about their day. The goal was to create terror.”

Marc Agnifilo, who is also representing Diddy in his criminal case, appeared in court on December 19 to inform the judge that he would be representing Mangione as well.

According to sources like CNN and ABC News, Mangione is detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, the same facility where Diddy is being held.

A criminal indictment unsealed on December 19 revealed that the charges Mangione faces may allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty, though it remains uncertain whether federal authorities will pursue such an extreme measure.

The New York Times reported that the final decision on the death penalty will likely rest with the attorney general, with a resolution expected after Donald Trump takes office in January.

Mangione could face the death penalty.

Under New York law, a terrorism charge—filed against Mangione—can be brought when an alleged crime is meant to intimidate or coerce the civilian population, influence government policy through force, or affect governmental actions through violent crimes such as murder or kidnapping.

While many have condemned Mangione’s actions, a small group on social media has attempted to justify the alleged murder. In response, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch denounced these defenses as “vile.”

“There is nothing heroic in what Mangione did,” Tisch said firmly. “We don’t celebrate murder, nor do we glorify killing anyone.”
