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.

      Oh and every other murder was random acts of violence? Fuck off with your narrowing of goalposts that didn’t even move them.

        No. Most murders happen between people that know each other very well. Few are assassinations on the street.

          I hope you can self reflect enough to see what a silly position you argued yourself into. I’ll let you marinate in it.
