The person being sought in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan was spotted near a bus station shortly after the crime. Thompson was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel while on his way to a conference, and no arrests have been made. Police are searching for a single suspect who may have left the city. The suspect arrived in New York City on November 24 and stayed at a hostel, wearing a mask at all times and paying in cash with a fraudulent ID. He left the hostel early on December 4 and was seen near the hotel before the shooting occurred. The suspect was then seen on a bicycle in Central Park before taking a taxi to the George Washington Bridge area. A $60,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the suspect’s arrest. The investigation is still ongoing and involves cooperation with the Atlanta police department, where the suspect’s bus originated. Police are conducting a thorough examination of evidence before making an arrest and seeking justice for the victim and his family. Police Chief Kenny emphasized the need for a careful, detailed investigation to ensure a fair and thorough legal process.
