NEW: CEO homicide investigation leads to NY hostel

NEW YORK CITY - The NYPD released new images of a person of interest in the ambush-style killing of the CEO of one of the largest health care companies in the world.

The person in the photos, who is wearing a gray hood and grinning, is wanted for questioning in connection with the stalking and shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside of a New York City hotel Wednesday.

The hunt for the suspect brought the NYPD to at least two hostels on the Upper West Side Thursday morning, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told the Associated Press.

If I was a hostel worker that recognized him I probably wouldn’t snitch. Vigilante justice is as American as pie.

If only every crime was given as much attention as this one…

Not the same jacket, totally wrong bag.

For profit insurance needs to end. Insurance companies deny care for profit.

Free my man, he ain't done nothing

Why is this such a big story, murders happen everyday. Shouldn’t give this much attention because he’s rich.

[WalterJHuaman]

Is there a GoFundMe for his legal defense?

Only a big time CEO criminal gets his case pursued like this.

Let the gunman say he lost his wife to a decision an insurance company made - and here come the movie rights.

American public getting behind this guy like they get behind DB Cooper.

Thompson, 50, was one of three UnitedHealth Group executives named in a class action lawsuit filed in May that accused them of dumping millions of dollars worth of stock while the company was the subject of a federal antitrust investigation, which investors say wasn’t immediately disclosed to shareholders

Don’t lock that innocent man up, THATS NOT THE SAME PERSON

[cariciaangela]

Seems like two different people just by looking at the jacket, one has pockets, the other doesn't.

[rorythurman]

Question everything. Not all is as it seems. Totally sus

[davidwhitten]

Wild how he changed the color of his coat and backpack between pic locations.

[arturomendez]

One less pocket to fill with our money

[derrickjac]

Mass shooter? So, he shot at a mass? A torso? A religious event? What are they talking about here?

[rozeyrose]

In one photo, his jacket has chest pockets and hood strings. The other photo doesn't have either.
That's not the same person.
