New Yorkers mockingly celebrated the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Washington Square Park with a truly tasteless shooter look-a-like contest — as the frantic manhunt for the brazen killer entered its fourth day.

The winner, whose green jacket and face covering made him a dead ringer for the cold-blooded assassin, said he headed toward the park after hearing about the contest that morning.
“I got no looks until I got over here and now everyone wants a picture with me,” he told The Post.
“He’s the one,” one onlooker remarked as he was introduced as “contestant number six.”
