Alleged killer Luigi Mangione was seen returning to court in Pennsylvania for an extradition hearing.
The 26-year-old has been charged in New York City for the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan.
Mangione was indicted on charges of murder as an act of terrorism, under a state law that allows for stiffer sentences when a killing is aimed at terrifying civilians or influencing government.
He will go through two hearings on Thursday - the first on for forgery and firearms charges in Pennsylvania.
The second hearing will be on whether Mangione is extradited to New York to face murder charges. Mangione s lawyer previously said the alleged killer would fight extradition, but it has now been reported that he will now waive extradition.
