As New York City Police Department officers continue the search for the man suspected of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson dead, theories about a possible motive are circulating online.
Thompson was killed outside a Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan Wednesday morning, where he was due to speak at the healthcare company’s annual investor conference.
Police have said the shooting was likely a “premediated, targeted attack”, with the company’s claim denials and a Department of Justice investigation among the potential reasons put forward on social media.
