UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot on a Manhattan sidewalk early Wednesday morning in what police are calling a "premeditated, targeted assault."
The incident occurred outside the Hilton Hotel on Sixth Avenue, where UnitedHealth’s annual investor conference was set to begin. Security footage captured the masked gunman lying in wait before approaching Thompson from behind and firing multiple rounds.
Authorities have released surveillance images of the suspect, described as a "light-skinned male" wearing a hooded jacket and mask. Additional images show the suspect at a nearby Starbucks shortly before the shooting.
New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated that the attack was not random, explaining that the suspect waited several minutes before targeting the victim as he walked to the hotel, shooting him multiple times, including once in the back.
The NYPD continues its investigation and has announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s arrest.
UnitedHealth, the largest health insurer in the U.S., serves millions of Americans. The company has been facing challenges, including a significant data breach in its Change Healthcare division, which has disrupted patient services and delayed payments to providers.
The shooting occurred just hours before the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony, which proceeded as planned under heightened security.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact the NYPD immediately.
