NEW YORK (WDNews) – Police are searching for the suspect who fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.
Thompson was shot outside a hotel on Wednesday before the gunman fled on an electric bike. Law enforcement sources believe the suspect may have been staying at a nearby hostel, which has been searched. The NYPD has released new images of an unmasked person of interest in connection with the case.
Investigators found the words “delay” and “depose” inscribed on a live round and shell casing at the scene. A smudged fingerprint was retrieved from a water bottle believed to have been left behind by the suspect. Police suspect the shooter has experience as a marksman but have not determined a motive for the crime.
Authorities continue to comb the streets of New York City in pursuit of the gunman. Detectives urge anyone with information to come forward.
