Unraveling the assassination of Brian Thompson
In a shocking incident that has sent ripples through the corporate world, Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down outside a Midtown hotel. The attack occurred early Wednesday morning, just before Thompson was scheduled to host an investors’ conference at the Hilton hotel on Sixth Avenue.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots, and the scene quickly turned chaotic as law enforcement arrived to investigate the crime.
Possible messages left by the shooter
As the investigation unfolds, police sources have revealed intriguing details about the crime scene. It appears that the masked gunman may have left a cryptic message on the bullets used in the attack.
Words such as “divine,” “deny,” and “depose” were reportedly found inscribed on the live rounds and bullet casings left behind. This chilling detail raises questions about the motive behind the assassination and whether it was premeditated or a crime of passion.
Evidence and leads in the investigation
Authorities have recovered three live 9-millimeter rounds and three discharged shell casings from the scene. Surveillance footage suggests that the shooter was experienced, as he used a silencer during the attack. However, investigators believe he may have made critical errors that could lead to his identification.
Notably, he was seen stopping at a nearby Starbucks before the shooting, where he discarded his coffee cup in a trash can. This cup has since been retrieved by police and could potentially contain DNA evidence.
Additionally, a phone believed to belong to the suspect was discovered in an alleyway near the Hilton.
This piece of evidence could provide crucial insights into the shooter’s identity and motives. As the NYPD intensifies its manhunt for the suspect, they are offering a $10,000 reward for any information that could lead to an arrest.
The shocking nature of this crime has left many in the community and the corporate world reeling.
As details continue to emerge, the focus remains on uncovering the truth behind this tragic event and ensuring justice is served.
