New clues emerge as New York police hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killer
Police released new photos of suspect and analyse shell casings that were emblazoned with the words ‘deny’, ‘defend’ and ‘depose’
As the investigation into a masked gunman who stalked and killed the head of one of the largest US health insurers moved into its third day Friday, possible leads emerged about his travel before the shooting and a message scrawled on ammunition found at the crime scene.
But days later, the gunman was still at large and the reason for the killing remained unknown, with New York City police saying evidence firmly points to it being a targeted attack.
Investigators worked to piece together more of the timeline of the gunman’s whereabouts before the shooting, examine security camera footage and even test a discarded water bottle and protein bar wrapper in a hunt for his DNA.
The words “deny” “defend” and “depose” were found emblazoned on the ammunition, echoing a phrase used by insurance industry critics, two law enforcement officials said Thursday, speaking to Associated Press.
