​

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson walked across a street toward a conference hotel more than an hour before the conference’s scheduled start time – and was gunned down during his brief commute, the New York Police Department said.

Thompson was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel, where his company’s annual investors’ conference was scheduled to take place.

“The shooter arrived at the location on foot about five minutes prior to the victim’s arrival. He stands along the building line as numerous other people and pedestrians pass him by,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said, citing preliminary information and surveillance video.

“At 6:44 a.m., the victim is walking alone towards the Hilton after exiting his hotel across the street. We believe the victim was headed to the Hilton hotel to attend the (UnitedHealthcare) investors’ conference that was scheduled to start at 8 a.m.,” Kenny said.

The gunman “approaches the victim from behind and shoots him in the back,” the chief said. “The shooter then walks toward the victim and continues to shoot. It appears the gun malfunctions as he clears the jam and begins to fire again.”

“At 6:46 a.m., patrol officers from Midtown North Precinct responded to a 911 call of a person shot in front of the Hilton hotel located at 1335 Avenue of the Americas. This is between West 53rd Street and West 54th Street,” the chief said.

“At 6:48 a.m., officers arrived and find the victim, Brian R. Thompson, a 50-year-old male, on the sidewalk in front of the Hilton with gunshot wounds to his back and leg. Mr. Thompson was removed by EMS to Roosevelt Hospital (now known as Mount Sinai West), where he was pronounced dead at 7:12 a.m.”

After killing Thompson, the gunman fled “northbound into an alleyway between 54th Street and 55th Street,” Kenny said.

“Once at West 55th Street, the shooter continues to walk westbound on Avenue of the Americas, where he gets onto an electric e-Citi bike and rides northbound on Avenue of the Americas toward Central Park, where at 6:48 a.m., we have the shooter riding this bike into Central Park at Center Drive,” the chief said. “At the scene, we recover three live 9mm rounds and three discharged 9mm shell casings.”

Three live rounds?

It was well thought out if there aren't any prints on those.

Police appear to be closing in on the identity of the man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, sources told ABC News.

Authorities on Thursday released images of the suspect taken from a surveillance camera at the HI New York City Hostel at West 103rd Street on the Upper West Side, where it appears the suspect shared a room with two other men, according to police sources.

Detectives canvassed other hostels in the area and showed people the suspect's picture, sources said. Police have determined the suspect checked into an Upper West Side hostel using a New Jersey license that isn’t his, police sources told ABC News.

Rather than New Jersey, the individual has been linked most recently to Atlanta, Georgia. The shooter arrived in New York last month on a Greyhound bus from Atlanta, law enforcement sources told ABC News on Thursday.

He arrived through Port Authority Bus Terminal, and detectives have been looking to see if they can spot him on video. Greyhound is cooperating fully with the NYPD investigation, a spokesperson said.


However, the assailant didn't check into the Upper West Side hostel until Nov. 30.

Because it’s believed he arrived in the city prior to that date, detectives are continuing their video canvass to gain a fuller picture of his movements in the weeks preceding the shooting.

The gunman shot Thompson at close range on Wednesday morning outside a Hilton Hotel where the CEO was attending a conference.

The "brazen, targeted attack" was "premeditated," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

Bullet casings found at the scene had the words "deny," "defend" and "depose" written on them, police sources said.


The motive remains unknown.

This makes me believe that this was a clean hit and that the assassin would never be found.

Everything was thought of.

I'm hearing that there was also a phone left behind, that wasn't a "burner", which makes me believe they picked up a random cellphone from someone with their likeness, and left it behind to make them chase leads that'll go nowhere.
