NYPD photos show face of wanted person

New York police on Thursday released surveillance photos of a person being questioned in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The two photos show most of the face of the person the NYPD is searching for in connection with its investigation into Wednesday’s murder in midtown Manhattan.

Thompson, 50, was killed by a masked gunman early Wednesday morning as he made his way to the entrance of the Hilton Hotel for an investor meeting UnitedHealth Groupthe parent company of UnitedHealthcare.

UnitedHealthcare is the largest private payer of health insurance services in the United States.

“The New York City Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the individual depicted in the newly attached media to be interviewed in connection with the murder listed below,” the NYPD’s Media Affairs Office said in a statement.

The NYPD did not disclose where the newly released photos came from.

Police released video and still images of Thompson’s murder on Wednesday, showing the masked gunman shooting at the CEO. The shooter, wearing a backpack, fled the scene and hopped on a bicycle and rode into nearby Central Park.

The NYPD also released surveillance photos from a nearby Starbucks on Wednesday showing the suspected shooter, who was wearing a mask at the time.

The NYPD and Crime Stoppers have offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for killing Thompson.
