Luigi Mangione (Photo) already was charged with murder in the Dec. 4 killing of Brian Thompson, but the terror allegation is new.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Thompson's death on a midtown Manhattan street "was a killing that was intended to evoke terror. And we've seen that reaction."

Mangione's New York lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, declined to comment.

Thompson, 50, was shot while walking to a hotel where Minnesota-based UnitedHealthcare—the United States' biggest medical insurer—was holding an investor conference.
