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.

    If they unfortunately find him, jury selection is gonna be super interesting. I would let that guy go with a handshake and a good job.

      like with the rittenhouse case; they’re going to find a judge & jury sympathetic enough to the rich to make a conviction happen.

      they did it with obamacare and they can do it with an assassin.

      Seriously. Imagine the state prosecutor trying to weed out that jury pool.

      Even if a potential juror doesn’t mouth off online, there is a massive list of names that UHC has fucked over directly, let alone people with ill feelings toward health insurance in general.
