The New York City Police Department released new pictures last Saturday of the United Healthcare CEO’s assassin, as the huge manhunt entered its fifth day.
One of the images show the killer – who is wearing a fresh coat and has a face mask on – cowering inside the back of a cab while the other sees him outside the vehicle on the road.
The images appear to have been taken inside the taxi which picked him up on 86th Street and Columbus Avenue two minutes after he left Central Park in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
The 50-year-old was gunned down around 6:45 am in Midtown, hours before New Yorkers gathered in the neighborhood for the annual Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center.
The father-of-two was fatally shot in the chest and leg in the targeted attack, with the killer fleeing on an electric bicycle.
Witnesses said the suspected gunman was seen waiting outside the hotel before the shooting, and knew which door Thompson was going to emerge from before shooting him at point-blank range. Read the full story from The Daily Mail
