The search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer continues in New York City, with investigators facing a frustrating lack of information about the perpetrator. Despite having ample evidence, including the use of a 9mm pistol and ammunition inscribed with the words “delay,” “deny,” and “depose,” the shooter remains unidentified.
Authorities believe the attack was targeted rather than random, as the shooter seemed to have knowledge of Thompson’s whereabouts and schedule. Speculation suggests that the perpetrator could be a disgruntled employee or client of UnitedHealthcare.
Police have been diligently searching for clues in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. A backpack belonging to the suspect was found in the park and is currently being analyzed for any potential leads. The manufacturer of the bag has not yet responded to inquiries.
Despite the abundance of evidence, investigators caution that building a case for court takes time and thorough analysis. Hundreds of detectives are combing through surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, and following up on tips from the public in hopes of identifying the suspect.
Security camera images from the hostel where the shooter stayed briefly captured his face, aiding authorities in their investigation. It appears that the gunman left the city by bus shortly after the shooting, with sightings at an uptown bus station captured on video.
The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, in addition to a $10,000 reward offered by the NYPD. Despite releasing photos of the suspect, including ones from a taxi camera, facial recognition technology has not yet yielded any results.
The search for Brian Thompson’s killer continues, with law enforcement agencies working tirelessly to bring the perpetrator to justice. The public is urged to come forward with any information that may assist in solving this tragic crime.
