The NYPD has recovered a backpack believed to belong to the masked gunman who brazenly assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was brutally murdered in a targeted attack outside a Manhattan hotel on Wednesday, where he was scheduled to attend UnitedHealth Group’s annual investor conference.
Surveillance footage reveals a masked assailant approaching Thompson from behind and firing multiple shots.
Despite an initial jam, the shooter quickly cleared the weapon and resumed firing, showcasing a high level of skill and experience.
“It does seem that he’s proficient in the use of firearms as he was able to clear the malfunctions pretty quickly,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said at the news conference.
After the attack, the gunman fled the scene on an e-bike, disappearing into Central Park.
