Targeted Attack in Midtown Manhattan

The assassination of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, Brian Thompson, in Midtown Manhattan was a brazen premeditated act that occurred early in the morning. Surveillance footage captured the shooter approaching Thompson from behind and firing multiple shots, resulting in his death shortly thereafter. Despite previously reported threats against him, the motive for the attack remains unknown, and the gunman remains at large after fleeing on an e-bike. The crime took place just blocks from a high-profile Christmas tree lighting event, prompting increased security measures in the area.
