New York City police confirmed Friday that the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thomson may have fled the city, escalating a nationwide manhunt. Authorities released new footage showing the gunman entering the Port Authority bus terminal, sparking fears he's now beyond NYC borders. 🚨
The Chase is On
Thomson, 50, CEO of UnitedHealth's insurance unit, was shot in the back Wednesday in what investigators call a "premeditated attack." The suspect vanished on an e-bike into Central Park—a move straight out of a crime thriller 🎬—but fresh video reveals he later took a taxi to the bus hub. "We believe he boarded an interstate bus," said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
The 48-Hour Window
With critical evidence like the murder weapon and e-bike still missing, experts warn time is slipping away. "It's like solving a jigsaw puzzle without all the pieces," said former NYPD detective Felipe Rodriguez. 🔍 The first two days after a crime offer the best chance to catch perpetrators—a deadline that expired Friday morning.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch urged the public to stay vigilant: "Someone knows where this person is." Meanwhile, UnitedHealth has yet to comment on whether Thomson's role involved sensitive corporate decisions that might explain the attack. 💼
