Authorities have made significant progress in the investigation of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan Hilton hotel. Police have recovered the gunman's DNA from a discarded Starbucks coffee cup and a burner phone left near the crime scene. This crucial evidence is now being analyzed in hopes of identifying the suspect.
According to NYPD sources, investigators are working to match the genetic profile and potential fingerprints found on the items to entries in a law enforcement database. Surveillance footage captured the suspect at a Starbucks store shortly before the fatal shooting. The footage also shows the suspect fleeing the scene through a passage between 54th and 55th Streets in Manhattan.
