New York City Mayor Eric Adams indicated to reporters Saturday that the UnitedHealth CEO’s shooter has been identified after a days-long ongoing manhunt.
However, he declined to say whether or not they have the suspect’s name, stating that he doesn’t want to tip off “the person we are seeking.”
“We do not want to give him an upper hand at all,” Adams said.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday morning that Brian Thompson was murdered outside of the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. He arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive.
Surveillance footage shows a masked gunman waiting for Thompson before approaching and firing multiple shots at close range.
Detectives investigating the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson uncovered a potential motive: shell casings at the crime scene were inscribed with words, The Gateway Pundit reported on Thursday. The inscribed shell casings—three live 9mm rounds and three discharged casings—bearing the words “Deny,” “Defend,” and “Depose”—were found among the evidence collected at the scene, indicating the killer was possibly a disgruntled client.
Thompson’s wife, Paulette, further disclosed that the family had received threats prior to the incident, possibly related to disputes over insurance coverage.
After the attack, the gunman fled the scene on an electric bike, disappearing into Central Park.

No change in my thoughts.
I still think his motive was the illegal and unethical practices that created the anger.
Conservatives, like me, tend to be more rational and less violent than the liberal left that cannot restrain their actions.
I followed the legal route in dealing with the insurance companies. It was frustrating, but I won every battle.
The reason the guy did it appears to be a general hatred rather than a specific event.
I await more facts.
He has not been charged in connection to the death of Thompson, but was angry at the way the medical insurance industry treated a sick relative, according to the New York Post.
Further details on that relative or their identity have not been shared, although online obituaries show Mangione lost a grandmother in 2013 and a grandfather in 2017.
I am far from a corporate lackey. In fact, I don’t even know what the %#$& you are talking about. I believe all the anger towards a dead CEO isn’t aimed at the Corporation itself but at Obamacare. If you make healthcare part of government you absolutely move it into the realm of politics and the violence it brings as politicians decide winners and losers. This is the bed leftists made for themselves.
Guess who is reading FR, lol.
