Disturbing surveillance video shows moment UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot outside hotel
MailOnline 5 DEC 2024
The NYPD has escalated its search for the assassin who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in an early-morning shooting.
Shocking surveillance footage obtained by DailyMail.com captured the horror unfolding at around 6:45am on Wednesday outside the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.
Thompson, 50, was seen walking in front of the hotel when a masked assailant drew out a large gun fitted with a silencer and shot him in the back, before the CEO stumbled down the street.
The gunman followed him and continued firing into the father-of-two as he hit the ground, hitting him in the chest and calf before sparking a huge city-wide manhunt by fleeing the scene on a bike.
Authorities said the killer escaped into Central Park, and hours later the NYPD released two sets of images along with a $10,000 reward in an appeal for information leading to the suspect.
The images include new shots of the killer standing by a counter dressed in all black with his face mostly obscured by a balaclava. Sources told the New York Times the images were taken from a nearby Starbucks before the shooting.
Thompson was named UnitedHealthcare CEO in 2021 and earned a reported $10 million a year, and for several years prior he ran the Medicare business within UnitedHealthcare.
He was slated to speak at an investor meeting at the Hilton Hotel soon after the shooting. According to a release from United Healthcare on Tuesday, he would announce the company's hugely profitable 2025 financial outlook, including expected revenues upwards of $450 billion.
