Summary

The NYPD released unmasked photos of the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 4.

Surveillance footage traced the suspect’s movements before and after the crime, including his escape on an e-bike.

Investigators uncovered cryptic words on shell casings at the scene and recovered items possibly containing DNA evidence.

Authorities are using facial recognition and offering a $10,000 reward for tips. NYC Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the attack was premeditated and involved a silencer. Motive remains unknown.

Please use this to replace the Drake meme format

New agencies and police are wrong for sharing this guys picture, the suspects coat and this guys coat are completely different from the front. These assholes are going to get an innocent and unrelated person assaulted.

I'm calling bullshit that the pictures they've released so far are even the same man. The builds are different, the noses are different, the skin tone is different, the jacket is different, the backpack is different, nothing in this is the same other than its a 5'10"-6' tall man with a fucking jacket. The NYPD are dropping the ball because someone at the department hates Healthcare CEO's too.

The real icing on the cake would be if he has a terminal illness that got worse, because united healthcare refused to cover some preventative treatment. That would be a real smear on the company.

Pretty sure it's actor Max Greenfield.

Haven't seen them.

The suspect was wearing masks. This man is not wearing any masks and has a great smile. Clearly not the same person.

The man in the photograph looks exactly like the CEO of Elevance Health.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Isn't the CEO of Elevance Health like an older woman?

Woah woah, did you just assume their gender?
