The mystery man who gunned down the multi-millionaire insurance CEO on a Manhattan sidewalk likely had a bone to pick, experts tell the Daily Beast.
has all the makings of a “vendetta” assassination carried out by a man with “personal grievances” against the health insurance company he oversaw., told the Daily Beast there were “several notable aspects” that support this theory, including that the no-name assassin left behind inscribed bullet casing with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” on them.
The mystery “murderer” was captured unloading at least three shots into Thompson before he fled the Midtown Hilton just after 6:45 a.m. Wednesday morning by hopping on an e-bike and disappearing into Central Park.Pipe acknowledged that the gunman showed “a high level of professionalism” that would suggest he was a hired assassin, but said the discovery of casing inscriptions throws cold water on that theory. A hitman would never leave such “identifiable traces,” he said.
Security footage captured the moment that Brian Thompson’s assassin opened fire at him from behind at close range. The psychiatrist added that the gunman “demonstrated skills” that were akin to a “professional shooter,” like his ability to fix a jammed gun on the fly. She also noted there wasn’t much of a reaction from the killer after Thompson collapsed to the Manhattan sidewalk. Had the gunman been driven by rage to kill, Lieberman said she’d expect to see more emotion from him after his planned hit became a success.
