US prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting dead UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement on Tuesday that she had directed federal prosecutors to seek the penalty for the "premeditated, cold-blooded assassination".
Mr Thompson was shot dead outside a hotel in New York on 4 December. Police arrested Mr Mangione, 26, weeks later in Pennsylvania after a nationwide manhunt.
