Police said the shooting appears to be a 'brazen, targeted attack'
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot in Midtown ; writing discovered on shell casingsThe words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were discovered by detectives on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson , the CEO of major insurance group UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down, police sources told ABC News.
The CEO was in New York City for an investor conference at the Hilton, which is in the heart of Midtown, and just blocks away from Rockefeller Center. New video obtained by Eyewitness News Wednesday night also captured the gunman walking east on 54th Street towards the Hilton, as Thompson made his way to the hotel.Uber driver Amar Abdelmula watched the whole shooting unfold and snapped a picture as the shooter ran away.
He ran through the midblock Ziegfeld Alleyway and eventually jumped on a bike and rode away into Central Park. While a suspect has not yet been identified, police believe they will recover good forensic evidence from a water bottle and two power bar wrappers that were discarded at the same Starbucks where police also obtained the surveillance video of the suspect. They say the unspent bullet rounds and the cell phone, which they now have a search warrant to examine, will help in their investigation as well.
