After the United Healthcare chief executive Brian Thompson was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel on Wednesday morning in a “brazen targeted attack”, clue after clue swiftly emerged. Surveillance video seems to show the shooter leaving a nearby subway station at 6.15am and buying two energy bars, as well as a bottle of water, at a nearby Starbucks, CNN reported.
Moments later, the suspect, sporting a brown jacket, face mask and grey backpack, is recorded meandering near a deli and, about 6.30am, appears to be using the phone, video surveillance seemingly shows. About a half-hour after leaving the subway, video shows him walking to the hotel where Thompson was headed for United’s yearly investor conference, and waiting outside.
