Summary

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.

The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.

Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.

Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.

    I’m sure that if people stop posting the photo the police are going to forget that they have a photo of his face…

    I am going to assume you are high or were under the influence of something when you posted this.

      You’re meaning to tell me that you think that somehow just the police having a photo is enough to catch the guy? You don’t think they need the help of other people for tips in finding him? Kindly explain the reward then…

      Why make their job any easier than it needs to be?

        Explain a $10k reward that is being advertised with the picture that you’re trying to say shouldn’t be posted? Stop being ridiculous. Are you being serious? You’re just trolling right?
