Luigi Mangione has waived his right to fight extradition to New York, where he is charged with the Dec. 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
During a hearing Thursday morning in a Pennsylvania court, Mangione agreed to be taken to New York by authorities.
He was then put on a plane in Altoona and flown to New York.
Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting Thompson as he headed to an investor day for parent company UnitedHealth Group at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Manhattan.
He was arrested five days later in Altoona after someone reported a suspicious person inside the McDonald’s.
The Penn State graduate was indicted Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court on one count of first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism and two counts of second-degree murder, including one count of homicide as a terrorist act.
He was also charged with multiple counts of unlawful possession of a weapon.
