Brian Thompson was killed on Wednesday morning and a gunman remains at large.
Police have released new images of a "person of interest" following the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York.
The gunman remains at large, and the motive for the attack is still unknown. New York City police confirmed that evidence strongly suggests it was a premeditated act. Notably, the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" were inscribed on the bullets used in the attack—phrases often associated with criticisms of the insurance industry, according to two law enforcement officials.
The newly released images show an unmasked man smiling in the lobby of a Manhattan hostel. Earlier surveillance footage captured the moment the suspect shot Mr. Thompson in the back. Investigators suspect the man used a fake New Jersey ID to check into the hostel. Staff recalled a guest who frequently wore a mask and a jacket resembling the one seen in the surveillance footage released after the killing.
