UnitedHealthCare CEO Is Shot And Killed In Midtown Manhattan

Posted • December 4, 2024: The CEO of UnitedHealthcare was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan Wednesday morning in an apparent targeted attack as he was about to attend the company’s annual investor conference, a law enforcement official tells CNN. The gunman remains on the loose. Brian Thompson was walking toward the New York Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, dressed in a suit and tie, to attend UnitedHealthcare’s annual investor conference being held in the ballroom. A gunman, masked in the freezing temperatures, waited for about 10 minutes before Thompson’s arrival before opening fire multiple times, striking Thompson from about 20 feet away, investigators tell CNN. The gunman fled, cutting through an alleyway and hopping on to a bicycle, the official told CNN. Investigators are continuing to canvas the area. Police currently believe that the suspect fled into Central Park.

The 50-year-old executive was shot in the chest. Responding emergency workers took him to Mount Sinai West in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead, according to the NYPD. The shooting happened in Midtown Manhattan, at West 53rd Street and 6th Avenue.
