New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the killing was not a random act of violence. The 50-year-old executive was approaching the New York Hilton Hotel for an annual investor conference when the shooter emerged from behind and opened fire. Thompson was rushed to Mount Sinai West hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators are currently reviewing footage and tracking the suspect, who was last seen escaping into Central Park. Thompson, a Minnesota resident and 20-year veteran of UnitedHealth Group, had served as CEO since April 2021. Law enforcement officials describe the suspect as a male who demonstrated significant preparation, specifically selecting Thompson from the crowd before striking.
