Summary
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.
The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.
Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.
Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.
Okay, honestly? Hear me out because as an European one thing stood out to me.
Why didn’t NYPD catch him? Because he fled using… public
communicationtransportation. It’s too out of this world for them to be able to track him down. No protocols. No nothing. Because nobody, ever, uses public communication in USA.Edit: And it seems I am the bigger joke for writing public communication when half-asleep. ._.
Did he use public transit? I thought the first thing I heard is people thought he used a rental bike but it turned out it wasn’t one of those. But yeah even if he did I think basically what he did was ride from the scene of the crime into Central Park which has less CCTV and is a lot harder to track people in so it probably took longer for the police to find his trail from there.
