Luigi Mangione Will Be in Same Jail as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs: Report

Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, would be incarcerated in the same New York prison as Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Mangione, 26, arrived in New York from Pennsylvania on Thursday, December 19 to be arraigned on federal murder charges. If convicted of this crime, he faces the death penalty.

According to CNN And ABC News, Mangione is now in federal custody and will be housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn – the same prison where Combs, 55, has been held since September.

Mangione and Combs also have another connection; the pair shares the same lawyer – Marc Agnifilo. Agnifilo appeared in federal court with his wife Karen Friedman Agnifilo Thursday to inform Judge Katharine Parker that they will represent Mangione.

A spokesperson for Friedman Agnifilo's firm, Agnifilo Intrater LLP, confirmed Us every week Monday, December 16, that she was selected to represent Mangione in New York. Friedman Agnifilo “will not make any statement at this time,” the spokesperson said. We.

Mangione was named as the prime suspect in Thompson's death earlier this month. Thompson was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4. After a five-day search, Mangione was arrested on December 9.

A New York grand jury indicted Mangione on Tuesday (Dec. 17) on terrorism charges, in addition to first-degree murder. He also faces charges of possessing counterfeit weapons and instruments.

Federal prison consultant Sam Mangel previously explained to We what are the conditions at MDC, noting that contraband and anything with sharp edges or pins are prohibited in the facility.

Visitor stays typically last 30 minutes and are limited to four people at a time, while phone calls are limited to 15 minutes.

Mangione has made headlines in recent weeks, with reports that a documentary is already under construction. Director Stephen Morsebest known for his work on Netflix Amanda Knoxdevelops the project.

Meanwhile, Combs has been behind bars since his arrest earlier this year.

In March 2024, several of Combs' homes – including residences in Miami and Los Angeles – were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation. In September, Combs was arrested in New York and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations against him. (His trial is expected to begin in May 2025.)

Since Combs' arrest, more than 20 civil lawsuits have been filed against him and he has denied all charges.
