New Images Released in Ongoing Search for NYC Shooter

The hunt continues for the suspect who fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as new images are released to the public.


Following the tragic shooting of health insurance executive Brian Thompson in New York City, police have intensified their search for the suspect. New images have been released, and the FBI is offering substantial rewards for information. Investigations are exploring motives linked to criticisms of the health insurance industry.


Police in New York City have released compelling new images of a person of interest in the ongoing investigation into the deadly shooting of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The shooting occurred on Wednesday as Thompson, 50, was headed to a conference, which law enforcement suspects was a targeted assault.

City mayor Eric Adams stated on Saturday that investigators believe they are "tightening the net" around the suspect, who has managed to avoid capture despite an extensive manhunt that includes the use of facial recognition technology. In a move to solicit public assistance, the FBI has pledged a reward of $50,000 (£39,000) for any information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible.

The newly released images depict the suspect in two different settings: one inside the back of a taxi, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a disposable face mask, and another outside in the same attire. These developments coincide with reports that a backpack, believed to belong to the suspect and recovered at the crime scene, contained items including a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money, raising questions about the nature of the attack.

Thompson was fatally shot in the back just before he was due to speak at an investor conference in Midtown Manhattan, leaving behind a family of two children. The perpetrator initially fled on foot, later seen riding a bicycle toward Central Park.

Authorities are still investigating the motive behind the shooting, and troubling details have emerged. Investigators have confirmed that the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" were inscribed on bullet casings found near the scene. These phrases may suggest a connection to anti-private health insurance sentiments circulating within the U.S.

Finally, sources revealed that investigators suspect the shooter may no longer be in New York City, possibly having boarded a bus bound for Atlanta, Georgia, as the search intensifies. This incident underscores the growing frustrations surrounding the private healthcare system in the United States, provoking questions about the societal tensions that may lead to such violent acts.
