The manhunt for the assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson continues to grip New York City as chilling new photos and surveillance footage reveal the calculated escape of the suspected killer.
The NYPD released images Friday night showing the alleged murderer in the back of a taxi after fleeing the scene of the brazen early-morning shooting, Daily Mail reported.
According to the NYPD, the suspect’s carefully orchestrated movements began moments after the 6:48 a.m. shooting near Central Park. Surveillance cameras captured him entering the park and later exiting onto 77th Street in the Upper West Side at 6:56 a.m.
The assassin, still riding an electric bike, was next seen near 86th Street and Columbus Avenue. By 7:04 a.m., he abandoned his bike and entered a taxi at 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, heading north. Within 30 minutes, he reached the Port Authority bus terminal, where investigators believe he boarded a bus and fled the city.
Newly obtained footage from NewsNation shows the suspect speeding up 6th Avenue moments after the killing, weaving through early-morning traffic and disappearing into the shadows of Central Park.

The Daily Mail has also obtained newly released photos from the NYPD, showing the alleged killer seated in the back of a cab.
The Gateway Pundit reported that the NYPD had recovered a backpack on Friday believed to belong to the masked gunman who brazenly assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson.
The unopened bag has been sent for forensic analysis to extract potential DNA, fingerprints, or other evidence that could identify the suspect.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Kenny described the backpack as “very distinctive” and noted that its recovery could provide crucial leads in the case, per the New York Post.
According to NYPD officials, a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money were found inside the suspect’s backpack.
The NYPD has revealed that a cell phone recovered near the scene of the crime is believed to be a burner device, according to News Nation.
The burner phone found near the crime scene is seen as a significant piece of evidence by law enforcement. Authorities are working to retrieve fingerprints, DNA, and other clues from the device, as it may provide insights into the suspect’s communications and activities before the shooting. Even though it is considered a disposable phone, there is potential for it to yield critical information once it is unlocked
In addition to the burner phone, other items were left at the scene, such as shell casings with the words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend” inscribed on them.
On Saturday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams indicated to reporters Saturday that the UnitedHealth CEO’s shooter has been identified after a days-long ongoing manhunt.
However, he declined to say whether or not they have the suspect’s name, stating that he doesn’t want to tip off “the person we are seeking.”
“We do not want to give him an upper hand at all,” Adams said.
