Huh?
There IS MORE to this one….
Personal or Business?
The chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, one of the nation’s largest health insurers, was fatally shot outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning, the police said.
The executive, Brian Thompson, 50, was shot just after 6:45 a.m. at the New York Hilton Midtown on Avenue of the Americas near 54th Street, according to a police report. Mr. Thompson was taken to Mount Sinai West, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators were still searching for the gunman, who fled along the Avenue of the Americas, the police said. A surveillance image released by the police showed a person in a black hooded garment and wearing a backpack pointing a weapon, and another showed the person fleeing on a bike. Neither image showed the gunman’s face.
The police believe Mr. Thompson was targeted in the attack, according to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The shooting happened on the morning of the company’s annual investor conference in New York City, and Mr. Thompson had arrived early to prepare for the conference, the people said.
The gunman apparently knew which door Mr. Thompson was going to enter and shot him several times from a few feet away, then fled. The gunman, the people said, ran, jumped on a bicycle and pedaled away….
Note…
In such a high profile case?
The chances of finding who and why ARE high for the NYPD…..
