The man wanted for fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Wednesday morning was spotted inside a nearby Starbucks before killing his target, police said.
The NYPD released a new photo of the hooded suspect standing in front of the counter at the Starbucks at W. 56th Street and 6th Avenue, just minutes away from the Hilton hotel where he gunned down Thompson, 50.
It was not immediately clear how long the gunman, who has yet to be identified, was at the Starbucks or if he purchased anything.
Officials said that after firing at Thompson multiple times, with bullets striking his back and right calf, the gunman quickly fled the scene on foot.
He was then spotted mounting an e-Citi Bike on Sixth Avenue and disappearing into Central Park, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.

Yup.
I think you’re right. Because it’s so random, it will be almost impossible to find him.
In the picture the shooter is wearing a hoodie with a mask that covers everything but his eyes.
Even in NYC that wearing the mask is somewhat suspicious, either the person is a complete cuck of a man or he’s a killer for hire.
“The shooter had what appeared to be a single-action handgun.”
Looks more like a semi-auto that jammed.
Definitely a ‘hit job’....................
The hits I was involved with were done a bit more efficien...
Wait, never mind.
Looks like new clothing. Bet he’s smart enough to discard everything and the gun. Odd he didn’t cover his eyes or wear glasses.

Democrats John Kerry and Al Gore will praise him for his small carbon footprint.
"For riders who do not buy passes, a single ride costs $4.79 for 30 minutes, plus an additional charge if the bike is not docked within 30 minutes.[161] Trips on electric bikes cost an additional fee per minute, though members pay discounted rates.[162]
All payments are by credit card;" from Wikipedia

I recommend that they follow the credit card. case solved!
I’m leaning left wing terrorism. Antifa type most likely.
So....not a pro. He could get a job at Boeing.
Suppressor - get ready for the looney left cry for banning tham.
I was thinking subsonic rounds that didn’t cycle the weapon, given the apparent suppressor.
But it could be some homemade/3D printed contraption.
Not before they decide if he deserved it as a 1%er.
He should have worn thick frame glasses without correction, too.
They just buy a $5 Visa card at the gas station or Walgreen’s
At least I would imagine - if that works on the bikes
I see people use them at hotels
One night the gal checking in, in front of me tried to pay cash deposit. No go.
So they told her to go to the gas station and buy a $5 Visa to put some money on it.
She returned some time later. I was there (again) - when she gave her name......well, I would call it a “stripper name” even though I’ve never been in one of those places
Certainly couldn’t have been her birth name
Something - facial recognition may still come up with something
In our ‘1984’ world...
