NYPD Releases New Photos Of Suspect In Midtown Slaying

NEW YORK, NY — The New York Police Department on Sunday released additional photos of a person of interest wanted for questioning in connection with the midtown Manhattan slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4.

The full investigative efforts of the department are continuing, and investigators say they are asking for the public’s help if they have any information about the case. Crime Stoppers can be reached at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

Tips can also be submitted @nypdtips on X or on Instagram.

There is a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case, police said Friday.

The suspect has likely fled New York City, according to police.

Authorities also discovered a backpack he may have left behind in Central Park, police said.

Investigators are working to determine whether the shooter may have been a disgruntled employee or a UnitedHealthcare client, Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters.

The masked gunman shot and killed Thompson outside Hilton Club The Residences where United Healthcare had planned to hold its annual investor day between 6:44 and 6:45 a.m., then he disappeared into Central Park.

Video shows him fleeing the shooting, showing him riding a bicycle into the park and then later taking a taxi to a bus terminal offering commuter service to New Jersey and Greyhound routes to Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, D.C, according to Kenny.

Police have video of the man entering the bus station but no video of him exiting, leading them to believe he left the city, Kenny said.
