Detectives investigating the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson reportedly found shell casings with the words 'deny', 'defend' and 'depose' inscribed on them.
Police sources told ABC News that casings were found at the scene with the cryptic messages left on them.
Detectives are now working to determine what the words mean and if they could possibly hint at a motive for the slaying of the 50-year-old.
Officers are still searching for the unknown assailant who gunned down Thompson outside of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday morning.
Authorities say he fled the scene on foot before then making a getaway on an electric bike into nearby Central Park.
Surveillance footage of the shooting shows Thompson walking alone outside of the entrance to the midtown hotel when the gunman steps into frame and opens fire.
The masked killer draws out a large gun fitted with a silencer and shots him in the back, sending the CEO stumbling down the street.
Several bystanders were seen in the footage witnessing the horror shooting, with one woman standing mere feet away from the gunman when he opened fire.

I dunno, I’ve seen a video of a chimp with an AK, and he wasn’t very precise at all.

“What makes this murder so special, why all the fuss?”
It is a large health insurer’s CEO.
The shooter was white.
There was a silencer.
It wasn’t random.
It wasn’t a run of the mill drug deal.
I think we will find out soon enough. Obviously, the assassin had some inside info. Some of the news accounts suggest Thompson was staying across the street from the Hilton in a different hotel. The only one that matches that claim is the Warwick. There are other hotels in the immediate vicinity, but their location don't match up to press reports.
Shoot someone in the back, they wonāt know what hit them. Shoot them in the leg first, and theyāre going to have a rotten ten or fifteen seconds of realizing whatās about to happenā¦
Iām also curious about what, if any, role the wife may play in this.
As to him not testing the weapon being a mistake, he seems to handle the failure to cycle like he has practiced it, and expects it.
