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.
As the NYPD scrambled to find the killer, police deployed a swathe of investigators – uniformed and plain clothed – dogs, drones and helicopters in the hunt for the assailant, according to The Times.
In 2023 there were 391 murders in NYC. For the police to deploy that amount of resources for this one murder kinda proves that the police work for the rich.
Yeah I feel like this is another thing that is fully normalized - the cops are there to protect wealth. Just like how the health care industry’s practices have been normalized.
True, but it wasn’t like we didn’t know. It’s just the hypocrisy of the police and the media doing their thing.
Supposedly the shell casings have words engraved on them. Deny Defend Depose.
Pretty sure that’s Donald Trump—he even discussed his plan to shoot a man on 5th Avenue.
This was on Sixth, though. Totally different.
New term, new street
Getting the street wrong is how we know it was him.
Not like Trump to understate.
Motive remains unknown
Lol
Every god damned person that’s seen the headline knows exactly what the motive was, but sure, it’s biiiiiig mystery.
Oh shit, he’s hot…
I kinda hate it when someone is this cool and this good looking. Save some positive qualities for the rest of us!
I’m a gay woman, but my god is this man fuckable
I’m a straight man, but that guy can assassinate my loins any time.
Immediate thought was “would smash”
The suspect was wearing masks. This man is not wearing any masks and has a great smile. Clearly not the same person.
The gunman’s motive, however, still remains a mystery.
Radiating “Historian saying they were roommates” energy.
“Defy, Defend, Depose”
Hmm very criptic
Guys, I have a theory.
As if I needed another reason to be a fan of John Bernthal.
Appears to be wearing a tiny bra
Gotta protect the nips while cleaning up the streets
New agencies and police are wrong for sharing this guys picture, the suspects coat and this guys coat are completely different from the front. These assholes are going to get an innocent and unrelated person assaulted.
I’m calling bullshit that the pictures they’ve released so far are even the same man. The builds are different, the noses are different, the skin tone is different, the jacket is different, the backpack is different, nothing in this is the same other than its a 5’10"-6’ tall man with a fucking jacket. The NYPD are dropping the ball because someone at the department hates Healthcare CEO’s too.
In the article: “It is not clear whether the photographs shared on X on the suspect are the same as those mentioned in CNN’s report.”. They’re literally making shit up.
Who’s going to assault him? The guy’s a champion of the working class.
The thugs with badges. He’s making them look bad
Thank god the working class are the only ones looking for him! Wait…
They have possible DNA sources from a burner phone and water bottle dropped in an ally, hopefully that prevents false accusations. And honestly I don’t see anyone attacking this guy. Murder is bad, but a lot of people have lost loved ones and life savings over healthcare coverage.
Doesn’t look like anything to me
$10,000? I can’t even cover my health insurance with that
Wasn’t the ceo’s yearly salary like $10 mil or something? Lol
I lost my cat…$500 reward…this guy is basically worth like 20 cats.
Doesn’t look like anything to me.
I have never seen this person in my life, or anyone who looks similar.
Sorry, can’t help.
What suspect? I thought they ruled the bullet wounds were a pre-existing condition and no police coverage is warranted.
NYPD is out of network.
