UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was ambushed and fatally shot in a brazen attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown early Wednesday morning, prompting an intense manhunt across New York City. The unidentified gunman, masked and meticulous, approached Thompson from behind and fired multiple shots before disappearing into the city streets on a bicycle. The motive remains unclear, but investigators discovered bullet casings at the scene inscribed with the words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend,” potentially referencing the book Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It, sparking speculation that the murder could be linked to grievances against the insurance giant. Thompson, a Minnesota native and father of two, was in New York for a work-related conference.

Surveillance footage has become crucial to the investigation, capturing the suspect’s movements before and after the killing. Hours before the attack, the suspect was seen at a Midtown Starbucks and later loitering near the crime scene. Cameras recorded the chilling ambush at 6:40 a.m., showing the gunman waiting outside the hotel before firing from close range. The attacker fled north, discarding a phone in an alley and a backpack during his escape through Central Park, complicating the trail for investigators. Subsequent footage showed the suspect cycling on the Upper West Side, 30 blocks away, without the earlier disguise.

Police sources revealed the suspect had checked into a hostel on the Upper West Side days earlier using a fake ID and cash, leaving a clearer image of his unmasked face captured by the hostel’s security cameras. The NYPD has since released these images, appealing to the public for assistance and offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s arrest.

The case has drawn significant public attention, not only for its shocking nature but also due to UnitedHealthcare’s controversial reputation. Online discourse has ranged from outrage to tasteless humor, with some speculating about the company’s practices as a potential motive. Meanwhile, Thompson’s grieving widow confirmed he had received threats prior to the attack, adding another layer of complexity to the investigation.
