The CEO of United Healthcare shot and killed this morning in New York City
The CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, was fatally shot outside a Hilton hotel in New York City by a masked assailant. The incident occurred Wednesday morning, December 4th. Video surveillance shows the culprit approaching him from behind, firing several 9mm rounds into Thompsons back and leg as he walked up the street.
The CEO was preparing to enter The Hilton Hotel for a United Healthcare investor conference, where he was scheduled to speak. The gunman escaped on foot after the attack. He fled on a motorbike into Central Park, where he was last seen.
Since the incident, investigators have concluded the incident appeared to have been a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack.” The police commissioner stated eyewitnesses claimed the suspect was “lying in wait for several minutes” moments before Thompson arrived at the hotel. She added, “Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait for his intended target,” NBC News reports.
The news outlet reportedly spoke with the victim's wife, who allegedly stated her husband received several threats before the fatal shooting. Police are searching to capture the suspect, who remains at large. Crime Stoppers have offered a $10,000 reward for information.
