Suspect in UnitedHealthCare CEO shooting used fake ID and traveled by bus from Atlanta, sources say

CEO Brian Thompson

The NYPD released photos of surveillance footage on Thursday showing a man smiling who police believe is a suspect in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, providing a “significant clue” to investigators, according to John Miller, CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst.

The man lowers “his mask and gives a big smile,” Miller said — a flirtatious moment between the man and a female employee at a hostel on New York’s Upper West Side.

“That little flirtation between the two of them, in some good-humored way, actually yielded what is so far the most significant clue to identifying him,” Miller said.
