FBI Offers Reward for UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder

The FBI has joined the search for the gunman who fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4, 2024, offering a reward of $50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Authorities believe the attack was targeted, with evidence suggesting the shooter arrived in New York from Atlanta on November 24 and fled the scene shortly after the shooting. Video surveillance captured the suspect riding a bike into Central Park and later taking a taxi to a bus terminal, but he has not been seen leaving the city. A backpack worn by the shooter was discovered in Central Park, which is currently being analyzed for clues. This brazen attack has prompted heightened security measures among corporate executives in the health industry. Investigators are considering potential motives, including whether the shooter could be a disgruntled employee or client of the company.
