On Monday, New York officials charged Mangione with the murder of 50-year-old Thompson.
Prosecutors have filed murder charges against Mangione in New York, according to an online court filing.

She then wrote another comment poking fun at how Mangione was recognized by a McDonald’s employee who called the police
Mangione also faces three firearms and forgery charges in New York.
He remains jailed in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of a firearm without a license, forgery and providing false identification to police.
Mangione was arrested Monday at an Altoona McDonald’s after police “immediately recognized” him as the suspect in the murder.
Mangione is a graduate of the “anti-capitalist” Ivy League.
He was taken into custody after a McDonald’s employee in Altoona, about 100 miles east of Pittsburgh, thought they recognized him as the shooter five days after he allegedly shot and killed Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel.
Sources told DailyMail.com that several staff members spotted the masked man, who was quietly reading after ordering a drink from the fast food restaurant.
One employee then called authorities after a customer also quietly told them he looked like the man authorities had been hunting for almost a week.
When police arrived, they found the suspect wearing a medical mask and looking at a silver laptop, with his backpack on the floor next to the table, according to charging documents.
He then gave officers a New Jersey driver’s license with the name Mark Rosario and date of birth July 21, 1998.
When an officer then asked him if he had been to New York recently, “he started shaking,” charging documents say.

Mangione is a graduate of the “anti-capitalist” Ivy League. It is believed that Mangione was angry with the way the health insurance industry treated a sick family member, according to the New York Post
Officers soon realized that the New Jersey driver’s license was fake, at which point an officer told him that he was under official police investigation and that if he lied about his identity, he would be arrested.
Upon hearing this, Mangione allegedly provided officers with his true identity, and when an officer asked why he lied about his name, the suspect allegedly replied, “I obviously shouldn’t have done that.”
Mangione ultimately calmly and quietly interacted with officers outside the McDonald’s, and staff members said their workday was minimally disrupted.
He reportedly had a 3D-printed ghost gun, similar to the one used in Wednesday morning’s murder, along with a silencer, a manifesto and four fake IDs when he was arrested by police.
Thompson was in the Big Apple to host UnitedHealthcare’s annual investor meeting, where he would explain the insurance company’s huge profits for the year.
Surveillance camera footage showed him walking outside a Hilton hotel in downtown Manhattan when he was shot by three bullets at close range.
It was later discovered that the shell casings had the words “deny,” “defend,” and “deposit” written on them, in an apparent attack on the practice of health insurance.
The suspected killer is the heir to a fortune in a resort his grandparents created – and the brother of a top doctor.
It is believed that Mangione was angry with the way the health insurance industry treated a sick family member, according to the New York Post.

New York City police had been searching for the shooter for days before Mangione was arrested
No further details about that family member or their identity have been shared, although online obituaries show Mangione lost a grandmother in 2013 and a grandfather in 2017.
His X account also contains an X-ray of a complicated neck operation.
Mangione was also said to have been carrying a manifesto when he was arrested, which reportedly mentioned UnitedHealthcare by name, pointing out the company’s grandiose size and how much profit it makes.
The manifesto went on to condemn health insurers more broadly for putting profit above care, the Times reported.
Mangione is now due back in court for a preliminary hearing on December 23.
