Officials say they are examining whether the words point to a motive related to insurance companies' responses to claims.

As we reported earlier, police confirmed there were words on three shell casings found at the scene of the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

The BBC’s US partner CBS News is now reporting that the words - “deny”, “defend” and “depose” - were meticulously written, not etched, onto the casings, according to a source briefed on the investigation.

        I’m not trying to catch him, I think he outsmarted them.

          they’ll catch him if he made enough mistakes and this is definitely a big one; some asshat can see this comment and try to help get him arrested.

            New York police department has a lot more resources than a random Lemmy poster. I assure you they are aware of this without someone needing to bring their attention to it.

              every little bit helps and there’s no reason to aid them in this case; he did the right thing given our circumstances.

            That dude is in another country by now. He seemed to be very thorough.

      There’s something off with a picture of the suspect? The footage must be AI-generated and can’t be trusted. I guess we’ll never catch them now.

              Idk if it’s a mask or not, I do know that I’m not investigating so anything I think beyond what can be proven is worthless.

              At least, in my opinion. I happen to think that more of these demons parading around in human skin should be dealt with similarly, so I’m not thinking about it too much. Much like a nice breeze blowing, I’ll just let this pass over me.

                Ooh, yeah, that’s an interesting idea. They could be a biblically accurate angel, approximating a human face so as not to alarm onlookers as they bring about divine judgement. I think that’s probably the most likely scenario
