The state murder trial of Luigi Mangione, charged with second-degree murder and other counts in the December 2024 fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will begin with jury selection on September 8 in New York.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty and faces a separate federal stalking trial in January 2027.
