new york city - The brutal assassination of a top entrepreneur in New York has shocked America, as mysterious messages were found engraved on the bullets used in the attack.
America is in shock after the brutal killing of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, who was gunned down in broad daylight in Manhattan. Thompson, aged 50, succumbed to his injuries shortly after the attack. The murder has left many questions unanswered, particularly due to the strange messages found on the bullets used by the assailant, who is currently on the run.
The words 'deny', 'oust', and 'defend' were engraved on the bullet casings, which according to the NYPD, likely hold clues to the shooter's motive. The attack appears to have been a planned assassination, as the CEO was ambushed outside a Hilton hotel where an investor meeting was scheduled.
Security footage captured the white shooter, wearing a black face mask and beige jacket, skillfully handling his weapon. Witnesses reported seeing the shooter loitering around the crime scene the night prior to the attack.
After firing the shots, the assailant fled on foot, later escaping on an electric bicycle waiting nearby, heading towards Central Park. Surprisingly, he did not steal anything from Thompson before fleeing.
Speculation regarding the motive behind the assassination has gripped the American media. Thompson, who receives an annual salary of $9.9 million, was facing allegations of fraud and insider trading. However, it is unclear if these charges are linked to his murder.
Another possible motive may be linked to UnitedHealthCare, the largest health insurer with a workforce of over a hundred thousand employees, known for rejecting policy claims. However, this remains speculative.
In an interview, Paulette Thompson, the mother of Thompson's two children, revealed that her partner had received threats in the past, though she did not provide further details. The police have offered a reward of $10,000 for any information leading to the perpetrator's capture.
