The manhunt for the masked gunman who fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City Hilton hotel continues into its third day, with the FBI announcing a $50,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s arrest.
Thompson, 50, was ambushed and killed on Wednesday morning outside 1335 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, just hours before the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting.
Authorities are conducting an intensive investigation into Thompson’s personal life, examining connections with family, friends, and professional associates.
Retired NYPD detective Ralph Cilento noted that most homicides are committed by someone known to the victim, raising the possibility of a personal motive or indirect connection.
Investigators are analysing forensic evidence from the crime scene, including shell casings, and are urging the public to help identify the suspect.
When no one else at FBI headquarters draws your name for Secret Santa, so you have to cosplay as an assassin.
I’m surprised the dude didn’t wear one of those funny plastic noses with the glasses 🥸
Went probably to sunnier climate….
‘Delay’ and ‘Deny’ were inscribed on the shell casings.
