 Police Investigate Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City

New York City police are intensifying their search for the suspect responsible for the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Wednesday morning. As authorities uncover new evidence, more details are emerging about the crime.

Police Search Upper Manhattan Hostel Law enforcement has searched a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where they believe the gunman may have stayed. The results of the search have not yet been disclosed.

Clues Left Behind by the Gunman One of the most intriguing developments in the case is the discovery of the words "delay" and "depose" inscribed on bullet casings and a live round found at the scene. Law enforcement sources suggest these terms may reference a well-known phrase in the insurance industry: “delay, deny, defend.” Authorities are exploring whether these words provide any insight into the motive behind the shooting.

Shooter's Experience and Psychological Profile According to sources, the gunman showed signs of being an experienced marksman, indicating a level of training. A bounty hunter, Zeke Unger, suggested that the shooter likely has psychological issues, pointing out that the weapon malfunctioned during the attack—a sign that this was not the work of a professional contract killer.

Authorities Confident in Tracking Down the Suspect New York City Councilman Keith Powers commented on the case, emphasizing the efforts of law enforcement to apprehend the suspect quickly. He assured the public that the city remains safe as the investigation progresses, with key surveillance footage being reviewed from locations like Starbucks and a nearby hotel.

Major Health Care Providers Enhance Executive Security In response to the shooting, major health care providers are increasing security measures for their top executives, including additional personnel and precautions such as mail screening. The attack has raised concerns across the sector about the safety of high-profile individuals within the health insurance industry.

Examining Key Evidence Investigators are carefully examining critical evidence, such as shell casings and bullets, which could provide vital information about the weapon used. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is assisting with forensic analysis of the firearms to trace potential connections to other crimes.

The investigation continues as police work around the clock to bring the suspect into custody.
