Summary
The NYPD released unmasked photos of the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 4.
Surveillance footage traced the suspect’s movements before and after the crime, including his escape on an e-bike.
Investigators uncovered cryptic words on shell casings at the scene and recovered items possibly containing DNA evidence.
Authorities are using facial recognition and offering a $10,000 reward for tips. NYC Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the attack was premeditated and involved a silencer. Motive remains unknown.
Remember when NYPD watched a guy attacking people on the subway with a knife?
Big ol’ (X).
Such is not the case here. Video shows there were many people on the streets at the time and the shooter was aiming at killing a specific person. This wasn’t an attempt at mass mayhem.
So the police should only act if it’s a targeted attack? Against a wealthy individual? Hopefully you don’t get a canker sore polishing those boots.
Assassination on a city street is around upon by local police. It doesn’t matter how rich the victim is.
