Mangione pleaded guilty to federal charges of stalking resulting in death. “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died,” Mangione stated during the court proceedings.

The case has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim and the severity of the charges. Mangione’s confession and guilty plea conclude a protracted legal battle that began with the shocking incident in Manhattan.
