A Manhattan grand jury has indicted a suspect for murder as an act of terrorism in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The suspect, identified as a 26-year-old man, faces multiple charges including murder in the first and second degree, as well as weapon and forgery charges.
According to court documents released earlier this week, prosecutors allege that the suspect killed Thompson in furtherance of an act of terrorism, with the intent to intimidate or coerce the civilian population or a government unit. The killing took place on December 4 in New York and was described as a frightening, well-planned, and targeted murder intended to cause shock, attention, and intimidation.
