**New Developments in the Manhunt for New York Shooter After CEO Murder**
Authorities release new images of the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.
Police have issued two new images of the suspect in the ongoing investigation into the shooting death of Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, who was killed in what authorities are treating as a targeted attack. The 50-year-old executive was shot in the back while heading to a conference in Manhattan, raising security concerns in the area. New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that efforts to apprehend the assailant are intensifying, noting that the "net is tightening" around the suspect.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has offered a reward of $50,000 for information that could lead to the capture of the shooter. The newly released images depict a man in a taxi and later outside the vehicle, both times wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask. Investigation teams also reported finding a backpack believed to belong to the suspect; it contained a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money, adding a peculiar twist to the inquiry's narrative.
Thompson was a father of two and was set to give a speech at a conference in Midtown when he was attacked. Witnesses reported the gunman fled the scene on foot before switching to a bicycle heading towards Central Park. Investigators are delving into possible motives, particularly after discovering words like "deny," "defend," and "depose" inscribed on the bullet casings. These phrases may connect to criticisms of the private health insurance sector that Thompson represented. Additionally, reports indicate that the suspect may have left New York City, with suspicions of their whereabouts identified as Atlanta, Georgia.
