DIGITAL billboards advocating for the release of Luigi Mangione have emerged in Lower Manhattan ahead of his court appearance.
A black box truck with images of Mangione was seen driving past Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday morning before the accused assassin, 26, is set to appear for his first hearing since pleading not guilty to murder and terror charges.
The digital billboard appeared hours after a digital projection of Mangione, depicted as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, emerged on the side of a building near Lafayette and Canal Street on Thursday evening.
The mural showed Mangione wearing a green and white cloak with a shining red heart on the center.
Yellow letters reading “Free Luigi” were printed across Mangione’s neck.
Mangione is facing state and federal charges in connection to the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive Brian Thompson, who was gunned down on a bustling sidewalk in Midtown on December 4.
