Law enforcement expert on manhunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO gunman

A manhunt is underway for a masked gunman who fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in what police are calling a brazen, targeted attack in Midtown Manhattan.

The suspect, who was seen fleeing the scene on an e-bike, remains at large as investigators work around the clock to track him down.

Police released new surveillance images on Thursday showing the suspect at a Manhattan hostel hours before the attack. The photos reveal the man’s uncovered face, smiling just hours before the shooting.

They care more about the one CEO than the hundred of thousands that die or end up in bankruptcy because they are denied coverage.

We'll need at least 30 days to process your claim for arrest. You can appeal the decision on the claim if you dispute the outcome - this will take another 30 days.

I don't think it's him, besides homeless people come up missing everyday but they are just worried about a CEO.

[barbat]

Just a chill guy, tryna make some sense in the medical industry

[travistucker]

For some reason, it seems they really care more about this CEO fella than they do any other old murder that happens.. weird

Why is this getting so much attention? Because a lone wolf w skills is what the govt fears the most.

[BroodWarEver]

$10k? That’s it? That doesn’t even cover my deductible

[Ellyc]

I dont think there's enough evidence to find him so perhaps they should just call it a day 🤔

"Physician's appeal to United Healthcare to authorize anti-nausea/vomiting meds on behalf of a pediatric patient on chemo was denied."

[danielhoward]

$10, 000 will only cover one prescription.

[joulecarlo]

Looks like a happy doesn't look nervous

[noglatzie]

perhaps insurance companies can learn something here

[Patrick-hrz]

For once conservatives and liberals both agree and stand UNITED on this topic. No pun intended

[Justanotherworker]

Notice how much effort they put into this because the victim is a ceo? Identical scenario with a regular working class person, expect a fraction of the effort, if any

[neverwrong]

$10, 000.00???
Could add another 5 zeros, and no one will snitch.
"Paul Kearsy" is smiling

[Hidan]

I don’t think you can call it a manhunt when most people are not looking. Even with the 10k offer.

[MrZhdarkstar]

No one in their right mind will ever snitch on him

[kingcatx]

That ceo looked like the adjudicator from demon souls

[RagnarRobledo]

Nah !! That image is way too blurry !! Hard to notice any distinctive features, can't even tell what gender and or race the alleged shooter is .

[HistoryStillThrives]

Report just in....suspect has bruised hand from all the high fives he's been given
