Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealth Group’s insurance unit, was fatally shot outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning, in what is believed to be a targeted attack, a person familiar with the matter told CNBC.

The suspect is described as using a firearm with a silencer, the person said.

Personal grudge?

I don’t know the circumstances, but expect similar attacks on doctors and medical practitioners who administered the covid shots as well as on government / media personalities.

Looks like the police are closing in and getting closer to identifying who this creep is.

Several law enforcement officials are now floating around Thompson actually hired the shooter to kill him . That how he knew to the minute when Brian would walk to the hotel without ANY security … Otherwise there had to be several insiders feeding him intel . :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

14

Why would he want to hire someone to shoot him? He was making over 10 Million per year, had two sons, while he was separated from his wife for years, that also couldn’t be the reason as I am sure he had other things to live for. Why he would want to hire someone to kill him? This angle makes no sense.

He was separated ,he was involved with insider trading sold over 117 million worth of UH stock when insiders knew about the federal anti-trust investigation . he screw the firefighters pension fund and the public employees retirement system . If convicted carries 20 year prision term PLUS 3 times their gain , that make him BROKE ! Also he know he would not last in prison there are 80 homemade shanks waiting for him there ! His children would collect his insurance upon death .
The cop that got convicted in George Floyd was just shanked 22 times .
Can you explain how the shooter knew to the MINUTE when Brian would leave the hotel and know which direction he would be walking ? And that it wouldd be 2 hours BEFORE the scheduled meeting . How did he know there would be NO security for Brian ? Remember in Manhattan if you are standing around for a few police and security will ask your purpose .

This guy was all about money , money ,money . Why does a guy making $10,000,000 a fuck YEAR plus beneifits get involved with insider trading ? MONEY GREED …

the conference, which was set to begin at 8 a.m. Kenny said police had reached out to Thompson’s colleagues for guidance as to why he was going early to the meeting, but suggested the CEO may have intended to help set up for the event, which UnitedHealthcare canceled after the shooting.

6 key data points NYPD will use to get the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter | Fox News

2. The timeline is key

Currently – and this is unsurprising – the tip line regarding the case is blowing up. But what detectives are most focused on are the indicators they can depend on, like: How did the shooter know that Thompson would show up for an 8:00 a.m. conference at 6:40 a.m.? Did the shooter have some access to Thompson’s schedule or movements?

Recall that the shooter apparently “posted up” near the shooting location just minutes before the shooting. Was there an accomplice surveilling Thompson as he left his nearby hotel? Is that who the shooter was on the phone with, in the still photo NYPD released?

  1. How did the shooter so instantly recognize Thompson?
    The shooter was along the building line across the street when Thompson came up the block. Video shows the shooter apparently recognizing Thompson from what must be at least 60 feet, in twilight, early-morning conditions. Again: How did he know Thompson was coming?

I heard the pharmaceutical corporations are now hiding the names of their CEOs.

With a good reason. When the people find out what they had been up to… The day of reckoning is coming to them.
