On Wednesday morning, a targeted shooting claimed the life of Brian Thompson, CEO of United Health Care, in midtown Manhattan. Omar Jimenez reports live from outside the Hilton hotel where the incident occurred. Investigators have been unable to locate the suspect two days after the crime took place. New Jersey I.D. was used by the suspect to check into an Upper Manhattan hostel prior to the murder, leading police to consider this location crucial in uncovering further details regarding the suspect's identity. Surveillance footage has revealed the suspect's meticulous planning, showing him at various locations shortly before the shooting, including a Starbucks two blocks from the crime scene. Authorities collected critical evidence from the scene, such as a fingerprint on a water bottle left behind and a shell casing etched with the words 'delay' and 'depone,' hinting at a possible motive connected to personal grievances with the healthcare system. The NYPD has released new images of a person of interest, believed to have stayed at the hostel alongside other individuals. Despite ongoing investigations and the offering of a reward for information up to $10,000, the search for the assailant remains a top priority for law enforcement.
