UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in Midtown Manhattan Wednesday morning in a “brazen, targeted attack” as he walked toward the hotel hosting the company’s annual investor conference, New York police said.
The gunman is on the loose. But the assailant may have dropped some vital clues while fleeing, according to police officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing nature of the investigation.
Shortly before 7 a.m., a gunman, masked in the freezing temperatures, “was lying in wait” before opening fire on Thompson outside the Hilton Midtown, according to NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch.
