The investigation into the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson appeared to gain steam Thursday as the New York Police Department released photos depicting a man they wanted to question in connection with the killing.
Police found a possible message on shell casings found at the scene after the execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson – possibly indicating criticism of the insurance industry and a potential motive for Wednesday’s brazen murder in midtown.
The wording found on the shells echoed a common internet criticism – “delay, deny, defend” – that generally takes aim at what is perceived as bad behavior in the insurance industry, a person with knowledge of the investigation said on Thursday.
Police are looking into whether the wording was meant to convey a message and whether it offered potential clues that could help the case, according to the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details.
Police also released a new pair of images Thursday depicting the face for the person wanted for questioning. Police did not identify the man. “The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the individual depicted in the newly attached media wanted for questioning in connection” with Thompson’s killing, the police said.

The criticism is absolutely right. But obviously the solution is not c”v murder.
The CEO was under investigation which tell us that there’s someone behind the shooter. Someone who wants him dead because dead men don’t tell secrets.
Detectives discovered the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” inscribed on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot.
