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.

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Charged With Murder by New York Prosecutors

Luigi Mangione 26, suspected of shooting Brian Thompson, was charged following arraignment in Pennsylvania on gun and forgery charges

The Guardian 10 DEC 2024










Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspected in the shooting death of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, has been charged with murder by prosecutors in New York, court records show.


The move follows his arraignment at the Blair county courthouse in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday night, where gun and forgery charges were read against him. The judge asked Mangione if he understood the charges against him, and he said he did. No plea was entered.

Prosecutors in Pennsylvania, citing false IDs and a large sum of cash found on Mangione, argued he was a flight risk and asked that bail be denied, which it was.

Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro said he expected Mangione to face charges in New York shortly.

The Mangione family later released a statement saying : Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigis arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.







On Monday morning, Mangione was seen at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and was recognized by someone who then called local police.
