brian thompson gunman escape and evasion
The gunman involved in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan employed several tactics to escape and evade capture:
Location and Timing
The shooting occurred near the New York Hilton on Sixth Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets at around 6:40 a.m., several hours before the UnitedHealthcare investor conference was set to start. This timing suggests the gunman was aware of Thompson's schedule, which was widely known
Disguise
The gunman was wearing a black jacket, a black hat, a black ski mask, and a black backpack, making it difficult to identify him. This attire helped him blend into the surroundings and conceal his identity
After shooting Thompson at point-blank range near the doorway on West 54th Street, the gunman fled through the midblock Ziegfeld Alleyway. He then jumped on a bicycle and pedaled away, further complicating the pursuit
Despite the efforts of the police, including canvassing the area for surveillance video and offering a $10,000 reward for information, the gunman remains at large
