UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shooting: Surveillance photos show suspect

Surveillance photos from outside the Midtown hotel where a UnitedHealthcare CEO was fatally shot show the moment the masked assailant pulled out his gun to kill his target.

The images, provided to The Post by law enforcement sources, show the suspect, who has yet to be identified, holding a long handgun as he fired at Brian Thompson, 50, on Wednesday morning outside the Hilton Hotel on 54th and 6th Ave.

The suspect fired multiple times from a distance, police said, before fleeing through the Ziegfeld alleyway and hopping on a bike.

Additional surveillance photos show the suspect riding down 6th Ave. on the bike.

The suspect was seen wearing a cream colored jacket, black face mask, and black and white sneakers. He was also carrying a grey backpack. 

Officials said no arrests have been made, and that the investigation is still ongoing.

NYPD Crime Stoppers have put out a $10,000 reward for information regarding Thompson’s murder. 

Thompson, who has served as the CEO of UnitedHealth’s insurance division since 2021, had arrived early at the hotel at around 6:45 a.m. ahead of an Investors’ Day conference, police and company officials said. 

First responders arrived quickly at the scene and tried to perform emergency CPR on Thompson, who was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital. 

Thompson was declared dead later in the morning, police said. 

Thompson, who has worked with UnitedHealth for the last two decades, was based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, according to his LinkedIn account.

The UnitedHealth Group, which employs more than 100,000 people across America, is ranked fourth in the Fortune 500.

The company did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
