Newly released footage from Thursday reveals the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson exiting a Manhattan subway station just 30 minutes before the fatal shooting. The alleged gunman, accused of executing the executive on a Midtown street, was captured leaving what seems to be the 57th Street station around 6:15 a.m. in surveillance video obtained from a cigar store on Sixth Avenue.
Authorities had earlier released images of the hooded individual at a Starbucks counter on West 56th Street and Sixth Avenue, a short distance from the Hilton hotel where Thompson, 50, was shot at close range. Stay updated with The Post’s live coverage of the developments surrounding Brian Thompson’s murder.
The NYPD also shared surveillance photos showing the suspect smiling broadly, with a black mask dangling from his chin and wearing attire similar to that of the shooter outside the luxury hotel. Police reported that the gunman fired several shots before making a hasty escape on foot and later using an e-bike to complete his getaway.
