Shock in New York: CEO by Unitedhealthcare shot in front of a hotel!

In the early Wednesday morning, December 4, 2024, a fatal shot on the 50-year-old CEO of Unitedhealthcare, Brian Thompson, fell near the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The entrepreneur was on the way to a conference when a masked attacker was waiting for him and opened the fire, firing several balls. According to reports from the New York Post, Thompson was hit in the chest and leg and arrived in Mt. Sinai Hospital a little later. The local police have now published videos that show the suspect shortly before the crime, how he buys coffee in a Starbucks and fetches energy -rich snacks before the fatal shots fell, as the Sauerland courier reports.

The suspect in the sights of the investigators

The alleged perpetrator, an unknown white man in a cream-colored jacket, black face mask and with a striking gray backpack, fled on foot after the fact and then climbed to an e-bike to escape. He left a cryptic message on the balls used, which contained words like "Deny", "Depose" and "Defend". The police have apparently already found an important evidence: a smartphone that may be owned by the perpetrator was discovered near the scene. The suspect also seems to have a soft spot for precise attacks, since experts assume that he is practiced in dealing with weapons, according to the information from the information from Sauerlandkurier .

The wife of the late Paulette Thompson, expressed dismayed about the loss and described the killing of her husband as "pointless". Unitedhealthcare also published an official explanation and described the incident as tragic because Thompson was an estimated colleague who had touched many lives. The New York police department resolved $ 10,000 for references to the fleeting perpetrator. In the meantime, the entire city is on alert, and the investigators work around the clock to hold Brian Thompson's murderer, while the public is waiting for further information, as reported by Today.at .
