Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old suspect accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, will not face federal charges until January 2027.
A judge has set the new date for the federal trial, pushing the proceedings back from an earlier fall schedule.
This delay comes more than two years after the homicide that sparked widespread attention and debate over corporate healthcare practices.
Mangione faces multiple charges, including homicide and illegal possession of firearms.
While the federal case is postponed, the legal process continues on another front: his state-level trial is still on track to commence in September.
The dual-track litigation means Mangione will navigate state court proceedings before the federal government pursues its separate charges next year.
