<p><em><strong>Editor&#8217;s note</strong>: This article has been updated to clarify that the NYPD is now referring to the person in these photos as a &#8220;person of interest&#8221; after initially calling him a suspect. We have reached out to the NYPD for comment. </em></p>
<p>The New York Police Department shared new images on Thursday showing the face of a &#8220;person of interest wanted for questioning&#8221; in the execution-style shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.</p>
<p>In the new images, the person of interest is seen wearing what appears to be a green jacket with a hood. The surveillance photos were taken at a youth hostel in Manhattan where police believe the person of interest was staying before the killing, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/05/us-news/grinning-suspect-who-killed-unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-police-seen-in-newly-released-pics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>. Police still have not identified the assassin as they continue to pursue leads, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/05/nyregion/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-news/7d839212-b689-555e-8588-1b1d85080b4d?smid=url-share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨UPDATE: Below are photos of a person of interest wanted for questioning regarding the Midtown Manhattan homicide on Dec. 4. This does not appear to be a random act of violence; all indications are that it was a premediated, targeted attack. </p>

<p>The hostel where the person of interest was staying, along with a home in Manhattan, was raided in connection to the fatal shooting, <a href="https://x.com/GusSaltonstall/status/1864690583580602442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to West Side Rag reporter Gus Saltonstall.</p>
<p>The NYPD is asking anyone with information about the case or the suspect to come forward, offering a $10,000 reward &#8220;for information leading to an arrest and conviction.&#8221; The suspect fled the scene of the shooting on foot before getting on a bike and riding into Central Park.</p>
<p>Detectives investigating the scene where Thompson was gunned down <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cryptic-messages-found-on-shell-casings-at-scene-where-health-insurance-ceo-was-gunned-down?topStoryPosition=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> shell casings with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on them, according to ABC News. Authorities said the shooting appears to be a &#8220;brazen targeted attack.&#8221; Authorities are also looking into multiple death threats Thompson received before he was killed.</p>
<p>Thompson&#8217;s company UnitedHealthcare — a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest companies in the world — has been criticized for denying patients’ claims. The CEO was on his way to the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan to take part in his company&#8217;s annual Investor&#8217;s Conference.</p>

<p>The shooter fired at Thompson from behind as the health insurance CEO was approaching the Hilton early Wednesday morning. Video footage shows that after Thompson fell to the ground, the shooter fired at him multiple times. Thompson was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after the shooting.</p>
