Summary
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.
The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.
Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.
Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.
Okay, honestly? Hear me out because as an European one thing stood out to me.
Why didn’t NYPD catch him? Because he fled using… public
communicationtransportation. It’s too out of this world for them to be able to track him down. No protocols. No nothing. Because nobody, ever, uses public communication in USA.Edit: And it seems I am the bigger joke for writing public communication when half-asleep. ._.
pretty sure nyc has the highest usage of public transportation of the whole country though
Almost 50% in fact
And that is still pretty low compared globally, which is the posters point
Do you have a source to back that up? In nyc about half of the population doesn’t have a car. That sounds pretty in line with other major cities in the world
America is car centric. I am saying many other countries are way more focused on public transportation.
We are talking specifically about nyc here buddy
Exactly buddy. Globally NYC still aint that big on public transportation
Bullshit. The nyc subway has 472 stations which is the most in the world for a single city subway system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_York_City_Subway_stations
What do you mean by public communication?
I think they met either transportation or commuter
Transportation. Thanks…writing half-asleep didn’t work out for me. :/
Public transmit
Did he use public transit? I thought the first thing I heard is people thought he used a rental bike but it turned out it wasn’t one of those. But yeah even if he did I think basically what he did was ride from the scene of the crime into Central Park which has less CCTV and is a lot harder to track people in so it probably took longer for the police to find his trail from there.
Ditch the bike in the park, get changed (remove top layer, put in backpack), hop in to the waiting car on the other side of the park. Toss the backpack in a dumpster on your way out of town.
You’re outta there before NYPD even knows it happened.

Interesting.
I suppose carrying the bag out of CP would be kinda sus
I did hear he actually most likely took a bus out of NYC as they had footage of him entering a bus station but not leaving it. It could be hard to figure out which bus he took although if he had to buy a ticket from a person there it might be easier.
I heard he turned in to a bird and flew away
I heard all birds now contain a pearl of his consciousness and that he lives on in an endless dream.
I heard he climbed down into the sewers, put his signature hockey mask back on and is sheltering with some young adult martial arts reptilians.
There’s a lot of people getting on and off a bus at any given time. They also probably didn’t know he used a bus until later. They probably used CCTV cameras to track where he went, but they’d have to do that individually after they found out what happened. He was probably well out of the city before they knew. There’s really nothing they could do except maybe lock the whole city down while they search, but that’s not going to happen.
