The NYPD on Thursday released new images of the gunman wanted for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as the manhunt led police to the Upper West Side, officials said.
The images, taken at an Upper West Side hostel, show the suspect without a mask and smiling at someone as he stands by a counter.
“The full investigative efforts of the NYPD are continuing, and we are asking for the public’s help,” the NYPD said on X as they released the new images.
Detectives have been visiting hostels in the area after they tracked the suspect to the area, police sources said.
The suspect killed Thompson, 50, as he walked to a Hilton hotel on W. 54th St. and Sixth Ave. where he was about to address colleagues and company investors at an conference, police said.
Harrowing surveillance footage shows the man shoot Thompson in the back then cooly clear a jam in his pistol, before firing at least three more times.
He fled the scene on a Citi Bike and disappeared in Central Park, but cops picked up his trail late Wednesday night on the Upper West Side.
Police are offering $10,000 reward for any information leading to the gunman’s capture.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
