Police appear to be closing in on the identity of the man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, sources told ABC News.
Authorities on Thursday released images of the suspect taken from a surveillance camera at the HI New York City Hostel at West 103rd Street on the Upper West Side, where it appears the suspect shared a room with two other men, according to police sources.
Detectives canvassed other hostels in the area and showed people the suspect's picture, sources said. Police have determined the suspect checked into an Upper West Side hostel using a New Jersey license that isn’t his, police sources told ABC News.

The gunman shot Thompson at close range on Wednesday morning outside a Hilton Hotel where the CEO was attending a conference.
The "brazen, targeted attack" was "premeditated," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.
Bullet casings found at the scene had the words "deny," "defend" and "depose" written on them, police sources said.
The motive remains unknown, police said.

yeah those are good photos of his face. They’ll get him.
UnitedHealthcare CEO suspected gunman looks like Timothee Chalamet and Jake Gyllenhaal, says internet
... or hands or coat.
SHOULDER STRAPS ON BACK PACK APPEAR TO BE DIFFERENT
You can tell that’s not his real face. It’s a latex mask.
CUFFS ON COAT SLEEVES ARE DIFFERENT
nope. they are not the same. One is the killer the other the fall guy.
If the victim were Joe Schmoe, would NYPD be devoting the same resources to the investigation?
You don’t have to answer. I already know.
This is him!
Yeah, they’ll get him. You’re about to do an assassination and you first have to stop for a latte?? Is that how Gen Xers do assassinations now? Too much Grand Theft Auto I’d say.
What are you talking about? Gen X is generally considered those born between 1965 and 1980. The youngest Xers are in their mid 40s. The CEO that got shot was a Gen Xer.
You’re right. Millennial or possibly Gen Z. At any rate, you get the point.
Sleeves don’t match either.
This story has grabbed the country’s attention- we’re temporarily united.
The jacket also looks different. Are they sure it’s not just another thin guy with dark hair?
“UnitedHealthcare CEO suspected gunman looks like Timothee Chalamet and Jake Gyllenhaal, says internet”
Yeah and a lot of other people. The prosecution will have to prove that the guy depicted in all these photos is the same person as the shooter. Lots of people with similar looks and outfits.
Hopefully they will have other evidence, e.g. DNA, phone gps records, etc. that will tie a perp to the photo evidence.
The real disgusting disgrace are the a-holes who jump to the social media cesspool to celebrate the murder. The keyboard communists think killing to solve complex issues is totally acceptable.
