Summary

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan. The gunman, still at large, fired at Thompson multiple times, striking him in the back and calf.

Shell casings found at the scene had the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on them, according to law enforcement. Despite known threats, Thompson did not have a security detail.

Surveillance footage shows the assailant ambushing Thompson from behind before fleeing. The motive remains unclear as investigations continue.

    I’m so so on the fake trail thing, considering it leaked photos of their face for no reason, but depends how sophisticated they were, could be done in a way that really throws the feds off their scent or it could be just sloppiness

    hopefully they’re running to cuba or something as we speak but thats definitely cope lol

      I am assuming the backpack had a change of clothes. If it were me I would have had two mismatched shoe lifts to throw off gait analysis, colored contacts, some cheap jewelry. Like a pendant for a religion that isn’t mine and a high-school ring for a place I didn’t go to.
