Summary

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.

The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.

Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.

Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.

    Why don’t you call the tip line and ask them yourselves? Your son could be shot in the face in broad daylight and they were just move on the next day. They would never look for your son’s murderer.

    Why are they protecting the ultra wealthy more than they are protecting the working class??

    Maybe the police are not here to protect us after all?

      Ok like the police suck but they would absolutely look for a murderer in that instance. No reason to exaggerate when they’re bad enough

        I played a cop in a video game once and know that they investigate murders of poor/homeless people.
