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.

    I’m not even being funny, the build of the chin in particular makes these look like 2 similar but different people to me.

      It is, the police are trying to save face by finding someone dumb and innocent to scapegoat into “he was totally resisting arrest”. They’re going to murder someone, call it him, and promise that anyone else attacking the rich will meet the same end.

        I feel like you’re right. Eventually they’ll find someone to scapegoat, either murder them in custody or railroad them into life in prison, and wash their hands of the whole thing because the aristocrat class wants SOMETHING done about this.
