Manhattan business exec shooting: Police hunt for mystery subway suspect
Early morning attack near busy Manhattan hotel leaves top healthcare exec dead. Police study subway footage of suspect who planned the hit-and-run shooting near scheduled business meeting
Yesterday morning a well-planned attack shocked mid-town Manhattan when Brian Thompson‚ the head of UnitedHealthcare got shot near a busy hotel. The hit happened round 6:45am outside the Hilton on 54th St‚ where his company planned a big meet-up with money-folks
The killer (who police say knew what they were doing) showed up from the subway bout 30 mins before the shooting; cameras caught them walking out the station. NYPD thinks this wasnt random - theyʼre calling it a direct hit on the healthcare boss
The shooter picked their spot good - right where Thompson would be heading for his companys investor thing at the hotel. Its clear they knew his schedule and picked the perfect time to strike. Right now police are checking every bit of footage they can find‚ but the person who did it is still out there somewhere
NYPDʼs got their hands full with this one: theyʼre looking at subway cams security feeds and talking to folks who mightve seen something that morning. The whole thing went down in one of the busiest parts of the city - right near the spot where lots of business-people come and go everyday
