Luigi Mangione waived his right to fight extradition to New York, where he is charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4.
Mangione agreed to be taken to New York by authorities during a hearing Thursday morning in a Pennsylvania court.
He was then put on a plane to New York in Altoona.
Mangione, 26, is accused of fatally shooting Thompson as the company was heading to the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan to attend an investor day for its parent company, UnitedHealth Group.
He was arrested five days later in Altoona after someone reported a suspicious person inside a McDonald’s.
The University of Pennsylvania graduate was arraigned Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder for promoting terrorism, including one count of murder as an act of terrorism.
He was also charged with multiple weapons possession charges.
