Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare, was fatally shot outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on December 4, 2024. Thompson was preparing to attend United Healthcare’s 2024 investor conference when he was targeted by a masked assailant. The shooting occurred at 6:45 a.m., and Thompson was struck in the chest before the suspect fled the scene. He was rushed to Mount Sinai West Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.
Police are treating the incident as a targeted attack, though the motive remains unclear. Authorities are actively searching for the suspect, described as a tall, slim man wearing a cream-colored jacket, black gloves, and a black mask. Video footage from the scene is being reviewed, and the NYPD is urging anyone with information to come forward.
In the wake of this devastating tragedy, United Healthcare canceled its investor conference scheduled for that day. The shooting has left the community in shock, raising concerns about safety in the usually peaceful Midtown Manhattan area. Witnesses described hearing a gunshot and seeing the suspect flee, further adding to the unease surrounding the incident. As the investigation continues, the company and local authorities are working to understand the motive behind this senseless act of violence.
