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.

    Commit murder in NYC and I suspect the NYPD to be just as active especially when there’s video.

      hundreds of people are killed every year in that city and none get this kind of attentions or response; even when they’re on camera being killed slowly while everyone watches (eg eric garner).

        Hundreds of people are not targeted murder victims in NYC every year.

          the nypd has a track record of court cases and millions of dollar of fines for targeting specific groups in nyc; they know what they’re doing.

          Oh and every other murder was random acts of violence? Fuck off with your narrowing of goalposts that didn’t even move them.

            No. Most murders happen between people that know each other very well. Few are assassinations on the street.

              I hope you can self reflect enough to see what a silly position you argued yourself into. I’ll let you marinate in it.

      Remember when NYPD watched a guy attacking people on the subway with a knife?

        Such is not the case here. Video shows there were many people on the streets at the time and the shooter was aiming at killing a specific person. This wasn’t an attempt at mass mayhem.

          So the police should only act if it’s a targeted attack? Against a wealthy individual? Hopefully you don’t get a canker sore polishing those boots.

            Assassination on a city street is around upon by local police. It doesn’t matter how rich the victim is.

          So 10 years ago for escaped convits. Sounds like a lot of people between them and now got murdered that went unsolved that they used very little resources for.

            You asked. I googled. Something you might well have done, but did not. Now you complain of the first search result. Sorry, the spoon feeding is over.

              I was asking more when was the last time they did this to see the frequency of these manhunts. Lots of people get murdered every year but last manhunt was roughly 10 years ago. I didn’t complain about your answer I was just saying how much it speaks to the police’s lack of effort in protecting normal citizens.

                I have no direct experience on how police are allocated. I would say that it is done by the context of the circumstances. In this case:

                1 yes, in that there was a documented assassination on the street in a main area of the city of a corporate CEO visitor must be a determining factor.

                2 in that local and national news is carrying this story every day, thus putting a spotlight on your efforts is another

                3 in that the first female police commissioner of NYC, a position Teddy Roosevelt once held, is days into the job is probably another

                But, I have no idea what kind of resources are being used and neither do you.

                I hope this helps with your quest for knowledge, as it is my last response
