Police continue to zero in on the identity of gunman as they release two photographs of his face

Summary

The NYPD released unmasked photos of the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 4.

Surveillance footage traced the suspect’s movements before and after the crime, including his escape on an e-bike.

Investigators uncovered cryptic words on shell casings at the scene and recovered items possibly containing DNA evidence.

Authorities are using facial recognition and offering a $10,000 reward for tips. NYC Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the attack was premeditated and involved a silencer. Motive remains unknown.

        So 10 years ago for escaped convits. Sounds like a lot of people between them and now got murdered that went unsolved that they used very little resources for.

          You asked. I googled. Something you might well have done, but did not. Now you complain of the first search result. Sorry, the spoon feeding is over.

            I was asking more when was the last time they did this to see the frequency of these manhunts. Lots of people get murdered every year but last manhunt was roughly 10 years ago. I didn’t complain about your answer I was just saying how much it speaks to the police’s lack of effort in protecting normal citizens.

              I have no direct experience on how police are allocated. I would say that it is done by the context of the circumstances. In this case:

              1 yes, in that there was a documented assassination on the street in a main area of the city of a corporate CEO visitor must be a determining factor.

              2 in that local and national news is carrying this story every day, thus putting a spotlight on your efforts is another

              3 in that the first female police commissioner of NYC, a position Teddy Roosevelt once held, is days into the job is probably another

              But, I have no idea what kind of resources are being used and neither do you.

              I hope this helps with your quest for knowledge, as it is my last response
