Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty Friday in New York federal court to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione faces a possible death sentence in the case if he is convicted in the federal case of murdering Thompson, who was gunned down on a Manhattan street in December.

The 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate is separately charged in New York state court with the slaying.

Mangione is accused of fatally shooting Thompson on Dec. 4 as the CEO was walking into the Hilton Hotel in midtown. UnitedHealth Group, the parent of Thompson’s health insurance giant, was hosting an event for investors at the hotel that day.

Mangione was arrested five days later at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

He is charged U.S. District Court in Manhattan with murder through use of a firearm, two counts of stalking, and a firearms offence.
