CEO Assassination in NYC: Here’s the Complete Timeline

Brian Thompson died early Wednesday morning as he arrived at the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel to prepare for a day of investor gatherings.
The killer arrived outside the hotel and outside the exact gate through which Brian Thompson was supposed to enter the hotel about 10 minutes before Thompson.
Several passers-by saw the killer and ignored him as he waited for Thompson.
As Thompson walked toward the hotel entrance, the killer approached him from behind and fired at least three shots with a pistol equipped with a silencer.
As captured in surveillance footage, the gun jammed but the killer was skilled enough to clear it and continued firing.
Brian Thompson turned around to face the killer and then collapsed.
The assassin slowly walked towards him and fired the last shot. He then began running through a nearby passageway toward West 55th Street, where he jumped on an electric city bike and rode into Central Park, police said.

Brian Thompson Murder: Clues Found So Far

A cell phone has been found near the scene of the shooting and the killer was seen talking on the phone before the murder. It is yet to be confirmed whether the recovered phone has any link to the murder.
The shell casings of the bullets were inscribed with the words “deny”, “save” and “save”. These words are somewhat similar to the title of the 2010 book “Delay Deny Defend.” This book is on insurance claims and UnitedHealthcare is also an insurance company — a subdivision of UnitedHealth Group.
The killer stopped at a nearby Starbucks on Sixth Avenue where he bought coffee, a bottle of water and two PowerBars.
