🚨 NYPD Zeroing In on Suspect in UnitedHealth Exec's Murder 🚨
Authorities are hot on the trail of the suspect who gunned down UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson. New York City Mayor Eric Adams spilled the tea at a holiday bash in Harlem, saying, \"The net is tightening.\"
The mayor played it cool when pressed for details, keeping the suspect's name under wraps. \"We don't want to release that now,\" Adams said. \"If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking, and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all.\"
Thompson, 50, who took the helm as CEO of UnitedHealth's insurance unit back in April 2021, was tragically shot in the back early Wednesday morning. The ambush happened around 6:45 a.m. ET near the Hilton hotel on Sixth Avenue, right before the company's big annual investor conference. Talk about bad timing.
The masked assailant was caught on security cams lurking in wait, rocking a hooded jacket, balaclava, and a gray backpack—serious stealth mode. After the attack, he fled on foot, hopped on an electric bike, and vanished into Central Park. 🏃♂️💨🚲
Mayor Adams is confident justice will be served. \"We revealed his face,\" he said, referencing the surveillance footage released to the public. \"We're going to reveal who he is, and we're going to bring him to justice.\"
The city is on edge as this drama unfolds, but the NYPD isn't backing down. Stay tuned for updates as the story develops. 🕵️♂️👀
