Newly released images of the smiling suspect in the brutal assassination of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson have sparked wild claims online - including that he looks like two well-known movie stars.
A disturbing 'hot assassin' trend is also now spreading on social media with some ghoulish users swooning over the killer who was seen grinning at a hostel in New York.
The images were captured before the masked assassin brutally gunned down Mr Thompson, a 50-year-old father-of-two, outside the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday morning.
Reacting to the pictures released by NYPD yesterday, one user wrote: 'Ok is it just me or is the CEO assassin kinda hot?'
Another said: 'I hope the UHC assassin can get online and see how much we all love him and everyone finds him hot.'
People have even suggested on social media that the hooded figure bears a resemblance to Hollywood stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Timothee Chalamet.

We have another Gary Plauché unfolding right before our eyes.
Never mind Netflix this will be a major motion picture.
Ashton Kucher
From one angle I thought more Bradley Cooper.
I thought #Hot Assassin was for the columbian model assassin girl that just got arrested?
A lot of women went gaga over Osama bin Laden and his “sexy” eyes once he was identified after 9/11.
She looks like Aubrey Plaza.
She is hot, but obviously sits north of the Hot/Crazy axis, as her dead boyfriend found out.
When the Menedez Brothers were on trial, I knew a woman who obsessed over their sexy looks.
BCBS called me this morning for nonsense marketing crap. I let him talk for 45 seconds and informed him that his allowed time had expired. He laughed and informed me that they all got emails this morning that says the new maximum time on anesthesia policy was rescinded today. Ironic, huh?
I like Aubrey, probably one of the few actresses today I can say that about. The right combo of beauty and weirdness.
Clint Eastwood? A very very young Clint Eastwood?
I had a coworker back in the day who thought Yasser Arafat was ‘hot’.
I told her the guy looked like a frog...
Jake Gyllenhall was my first thought when I saw this picture. The Brokeback Assassin.
Assassin is good looking, Arafat was not.
Just slightly off-topic, per FNC: NYC Police Commish says the suspect has left the state of NY.
Hopefully a case of trying to lull the suspect into a false sense of security.
From what I can see of him, I think he looks dorky.
He was from out-of-town. Likely hightailed it out of NYC within an hour of the shooting.
They still do well with females.

The chicks really went crazy for this one.
