Search for UnitedHealthcare CEO's killer yields evidence, but few answers
The investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is intensifying as police uncover extensive evidence but remain stumped on the identity of the shooter. Thompson was shot in a targeted attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown, and investigators believe the assailant fled the scene shortly after the incident. Surveillance footage has traced the shooter’s movements, showing him boarding a bus shortly after the crime. To encourage public assistance, a substantial reward of $50,000 from the FBI is being offered, alongside a $10,000 reward from the NYPD. Recently, a backpack believed to belong to the suspect was discovered in Central Park, and its contents are under evaluation for further clues.
Despite significant leads, including a fingerprint on an item purchased shortly before the shooting, the police have yet to identify the shooter. Investigators are meticulously reviewing video footage and interviewing witnesses, including Thompson's family and coworkers. As the search expands, officials emphasize that solving this high-profile case may take time and require patience from the public.
