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.

The good news... He didn't spread Covid while carrying out the assassination.

Another observation... Tim Walz... Is anybody out there a bigger loser than Tim Walz?

And thirdly... This is 'not' a mansion. They called it a mansion, it isn't.

While it’s possible to recover fingerprints from fired cartridge cases, the small size of the 22lr severely limits the “points” needed for an ID.

Looks like a Welrod has to have the bolt turned 90 degrees to open or close it. Is that happening in the video? And why use an exotic like that? I would think that something ordinary and disposable would be preferred.

I'm pretty sure any amateur gunsmith could manufacture a welrod starting with a bolt action rifle (as the British did in WWII).

One important detail is that for the welrod to work for it's purpose, you must use subsonic ammunition, and base it on a bolt action firearm. See
Welrod.

Why you jiving me about the proper use of jibe!(smirk) Whatchu talkin’ bout, Willis?
I’m just like the folks calling cartridge cases “shell casings.” Too much TV lingo for all of us
Now I’m the bad guy!

I’m leaning toward an ordinary recoil-unlocked handgun. Apparently the cops have ebike GPS, a phone, and a water bottle found in an alley. The perp doesn’t appear to be wearing gloves at any point. Seems kinda sloppy.

I wonder why the police would release that specific info. Don’t see how the info would help catch the killer. Seems like they would keep that to themselves, at least initially.

“Why the need for a silencer when you are going to shoot somebody in front of people in a public place anyways?”
Perhaps, to limit his audience to 3 or 5 people, instead of 300?
