Prosecutors in Manhattan have begun presenting evidence against Luigi Mangione, the man charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to a grand jury, multiple news outlets reported, citing unnamed police sources.

Prosecutors were attempting to secure an indictment, which would bolster their case for extradition, according to ABC News and CBS News.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.

Mangione remained in a Pennsylvania prison as investigators gathered more evidence and authorities in New York worked to extradite the 26-year-old to face multiple charges, including second-degree murder. Mangione's lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told reporters he will oppose extradition and his client intends to plead not guilty to all the charges.
