Police in New York have released pictures of the suspect in the shooting of Brian Thompson in a taxi.
Newly released photos from a taxi's interior camera show the suspected assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as the manhunt intensifies.
Using extensive surveillance footage, police have pieced together much of the suspect's movements before and after the shooting. He ambushed Thompson at 6:44am outside the Hilton, using a 9mm pistol designed to minimise noise. Shell casings found at the scene were inscribed with the words “delay,” “deny,” and “depose,” echoing phrases critical of the insurance industry.
Detectives discovered the suspect had been in New York for ten days before the shooting, arriving via Greyhound bus from Atlanta. He paid cash for taxis and a hostel stay, using what is believed to be a fake ID. At the hostel, he remained reclusive, keeping his face covered except for a brief moment when he lowered his mask to smile at an employee.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny described the painstaking nature of the investigation: “This isn’t ‘Blue Bloods.’ We’re not going to solve this in 60 minutes.”
