Health Care CEO murdered in NYC in a targeted attack

I did a lot of work for UnitedHealth during my career. They are about as "parasitic" as a supermarket. Your suggestion that this is somehow understandable is truly repellent. No one likes health insurance companies, no one likes paying for drugs and treatments, but that's the system we have here.

How many times have you purchased something in a supermarket and when you got home found out the package was not filled w the required weight of product as per the label?

I suspect there was an inflatable raft in the backpack that the shooter used to go paddle out to a speedboat on the Harlem River. From there, he was picked up by an awaiting helicopter that took him to LaGuardia airport and onto a private jet. He is now somewhere in Eastern Europe.

I think the first guy looked to be fairer, slightly stockier and a thinner nose. Maybe it is the same guy but at a different angle, lighting etc.

Strange that a shooter, pro or not, would make so many errors - going into Starbucks where there were cameras, risking leaving DNA on a coffee cup, hiring a bike which would require credit card or similar - could it be possible that the shooter wanted to be seen?

Do US police usually make so much information available so early in an active case?

Only when it suits them. The worst cases of this are when the police themselves are the criminals.
 
Manhattan has cameras all over that area. They can see which way he turned after the shooting, so they will just keep switching cameras until he shows his face, home, car or whatever. I wouldn't be a bit surprise if they don't nail his butt within the next 10 days.
 
I doubt if this is political/professional. Sounds like a disgruntled policyholder. Although the murdered executive had his own problems with insider trading.
 
Here are two pictures, one with mask one with no mask. It looks similar but not like the same person to me. The mask person shows a grey backpack and maybe a zip up jacket and i do not see pockets.
The picture with no mask shows a black backpack, and definite pockets on the jacket.

I thought that too although the light can alter colours but, I am not sure they are the same person.
 
Is the bag strap in that smiley face picture different than the one at the crime scene? Is it a different bag completely? Black strap at Starbucks lighter color at crime scene. The jacket appears to be the same.

The suspected gunman who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson used a fake ID from New Jersey to check into a hostel.
Police sources told the New York Post that they found an ID was used by the assailant when he checked into the HI New York City Hostel in the Upper West Side.

Like many top Fortune 500 companies, UnitedHealthcare hired in-house security for its top executives including CEO Brian Thompson.
But the security detail that was assigned to him for his trip to New York City were not with the father-of-two when he was shot at 6:45am on Wednesday, sources told CNN.
As news of Thompson's assassination circulated Wednesday morning, many major healthcare providers beefed up the personal protection for their top executives, insiders told the outlet.
 
Former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz sparked outrage after she appeared to support the murder of Brian Thompson, while highlighting the misdeeds of another healthcare CEO.
Lorenz, once a rising star on the internet beat, issued a series of controversial posts on Bluesky shortly after Thompson was assassinated in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday.
'Woke up to see this spammed in my group chats,' Lorenz wrote alongside a celebratory image that read, 'CEO DOWN.'
'People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering,' she wrote on a different post.
'As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the ppl in power who enable it.'
