According to law enforcement sources on Monday, authorities are interrogating a guy in central Pennsylvania in relation to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
According to two people familiar with the situation, the Altoona man caught the attention of detectives in part because he was discovered in possession of a gun that resembled the one used in the fatal shooting that occurred last Wednesday, as reported by NBC News.
A masked attacker came up behind Thompson and shot him dead in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, which is roughly 280 miles from Altoona.
According to surveillance footage, the murderer started shooting at approximately 6:45 a.m. before escaping into Central Park on foot and then a bike, according to investigators.According to investigators, the last video of the suspected shooter showed him at an Upper Manhattan bus depot.
Thompson’s murder shocked the business and medical communities, prompting concerns about the proper amount of security for senior executives.
As social media feeds were overrun with tweets cheering or at least defending Thompson’s murder, the shooting also revealed a deep, visceral animosity against private health care firms.
