Shocking surveillance footage obtained by DailyMail.com reveals the moment UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot dead outside Manhattan's Hilton Hotel.
Thompson, 50, was seen leaving the hotel at 6:45am on Wednesday, when a masked assailant draws out a gun with a silencer and shoots him in the back.
After Thompson, the head of America's largest health insurance company, stumbled away from the attacker, the gunman follows him and continues firing into the CEO as he hit the ground.
The gunman fled the scene and escaped into Central Park on a bike, with the NYPD releasing chilling images of the assassin to aid the search, along with a $10,000 reward.
Witnesses said the suspected gunman was seen waiting for some time outside the hotel before the shooting, and knew which door Thompson was going to emerge from before opening fire.
Several people were seen in the footage standing nearby when Thompson was hit, with one woman sprinting down the street after being just feet away from the tragedy.
Thompson was named UnitedHealthcare CEO in 2021 and earned a reported $10 million a year, and for several years prior he ran the Medicare business within UnitedHealthcare.
He was slated to speak at an investor meeting at the Hilton Hotel soon after the shooting. According to a release from United Healthcare on Tuesday, he would announce the company's hugely profitable 2025 financial outlook, including expected revenues upwards of $450 billion.
The suspect is at large, and is described as a white male wearing a cream-colored jacket, black face mask, black and white sneakers, and a grey backpack.

Someone found him guilty.
My eyes are dry.
Obviously.
Exactly.
Pretty sure that is illegal in NYC.
Like I said earlier, either a Pissed Off Husband or a pissed of Father of a pre teen boy...
Disturbing video vs joyful video? Brits.....
A pro?

Pro hit. That’s how you do it, not some kid on a roof. The Dems can’t do anything right, even with lots of money. I’d love to know who this guy pissed off and why.
You seem to have some serious issues. Murder doesn’t make normal people gleeful.
Weird the perp would use a “silencer”. Did they use subsonic ammo?
I think so. Definitely premeditated.
“Pretty sure that is illegal in NYC.”
[Groan....]
“Gun laws presume that someone who is willing to break the law and murder someone will be willing to obey the law and not use a [silencer].
Subsonic ammo probably wouldn’t have enough penetrating power for a sure kill.
I’d see what the guy had for life insurance.
There’s an eye witness to this. The witness may or may not be able to identify the perp, but I hope that he or she has enough courage to come forward and try to work with the police.

Pretty sure that is illegal in NYC.
Might be a three-fer: Gun, silencer, and/or if the shooter was an illegal alien. Might also have been a stolen bicycle he rode the wrong way down a one-way street.
But yeah, it's illegal in New York City do it couldn't have happened.
Not a pro...
Completely failed to realize that some subsonic ammo will not reliably cycle a pistol. A pro would know EXACTLY what his tools would do and not have to awkwardly tap/rack on every other shot...
The killer was very calm and calculating.
Premeditated, for certain... but I’m doubting “pro”...
Antifa maybe... Just from the general gear. Hoodies, facemasks, and backpacks are pretty standard for them.
