Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot on a Manhattan sidewalk. The masked gunman fled the scene on a bicycle, and police are searching for him using advanced technology. The NYPD suspects the shooting was intentional, not random.
Police in New York City are still looking for the man who shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Wednesday morning before fleeing the scene.
Other security cameras captured the initial stages of the gunman's escape. He was seen fleeing the block across a pedestrian plaza and into an alley, where a phone believed to be linked to the suspect was found, ABC11 reported, citing police sources. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that while investigators had not yet established a motive, the shooting was no random act of violence. "Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait for his intended target," Tisch said at a news conference on Wednesday.
"Brian was a highly respected colleague and friend to all who worked with him," UnitedHealth Group Inc said in a statement. "We are working closely with the New York Police Department and ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time."
