UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's alleged shooter remains at large Thursday morning, as investigators examine a cup found in a Starbucks trashcan that they believe belonged to him.
The manhunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's alleged assassin continues for a second day on Thursday, as the suspected gunman's Starbucks visit draws scrutiny. The New York City Police Department has released surveillance images of the alleged killer – seen in a dark-colored jacket, with his hood drawn and the lower portion of his face covered – while inside an undisclosed Starbucks location. Thompson was gunned down from behind just after 6:45 a.m.
Following the shooting, the suspect walked between two vehicles, got onto a bike, then disappeared into Central Park, the NYPD said. It was previously reported that the suspect used a Citibike – which can be tracked – but the NYPD has clarified that the incident did not involve that type of bike. Investigators hope accompanying evidence left behind will help identify him, including a cellphone discovered in an alleyway near the hotel.
The NYPD said a search warrant was also being conducted in the victim's nearby hotel room as investigators worked to find out if any threats had been made against the CEO. The annual Christmas tree lighting in Rockefeller Center, just blocks away from the shooting scene, went off without a hitch on Wednesday night as Thompson's killer remained at large.Fox News' Christina Shaw and Greg Wehner contributed to this report.
