Police said the gunman arrived outside the hotel several minutes before Thompson and waited for him to walk past before firing.
Other photos captured a glimpse of his eyes, brow and the bridge of his nose as he stood in a cafe, with a caption asking the public for any help in identifying the man. "Our hearts go out to Brian's family and all who were close to him," the company said in a statement.
