UnitedHealthcare CEO gets assassinated outside of New York City on a Wednesday morning while the investigation is ongoing on the search of the gunman not many people were feeling any sympathy for the deceased CEO and here’s why…..

December 4, 2024

It was Wednesday morning on December 4th outside of New York City 50-year-old CEO Brian Thompson all dressed in a suit heading to his meeting to a nearby hotel until a masked gunman pulled out a fired shots at Thompson. A witness who saw the shooting fled the scene. After the gunman, he fled the scene on a bike, flee to Central Park, and was gone…. Paramedics arrived at the scene, have tried to revive Thompson. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. After his death, police and the FBI were investigating Who was the suspect behind the murder. At the scene of the murder, Police found written messages on the bullet casings:

Depose, Delay, Deny

NYPD investigators found a backpack in Central Park West on Friday that they believe belonged to the suspect who killed Thompson filled with Monopoly money. Then he broaded the bus to Atlanta.

United Health Group issued a statement:

"While our hearts are broken, we have been touched by the huge outpouring of kindness and support in the hours since this horrific crime took place. So many patients, consumers, healthcare professionals, associations, government officials and other caring people have taken time out of their day to reach out. We are thankful, even as we grieve. Our priorities are, first and foremost, supporting Brian’s family; ensuring the safety of our employees; and working with law enforcement to bring the perpetrator to justice. We, at UnitedHealth Group, will continue to be there for those who depend upon us for their health care. We ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy as they mourn the loss of their husband, father, brother and friend."

As for Thompson families', sources says that Thompsons families are sadden by the news. According to his wife, Thompson had received threats from health consumers. While his family and the United Health care companies, everyone including all on social media are not feeling sympathy and are siding with the CEO shooter. Most are sending condolences to those who died for not getting covered for their health insurance, most are feeling sympathy for the gunman who had a reason to kill the CEO, half are sharing their story on their experience being denied from United healthcare claims, even shared tiktoks flattering the gunman.

If you read the comment sections on YouTube, shady as f

I love all y'all

UnitedHealthcare is one of America’s biggest public companies the country’s biggest provider of private insurance, including of “Medicare Advantage” plans. It also manages insurance for federally funded programs. A bar chart appeared claiming its rate of denial, at 32 percent, was double the industry average, indicating a reputation for rejecting claims rather readily. A lawsuit filed last year alleges that the company knowingly used a poorly functioning AI system to assess one category of claims, with many being wrongly rejected. The company insists this is simply not true. But the anger towards companies like UnitedHealthcare is real enough not the gunman killing the CEO.

The suspect is currently at large and the investigation continues.

And I will still be watching.

Honestly, I do believe there was a motive. After all, it wasn’t really a random attack it was definitely targeted which is no one surprised as well including mines. This person who shot that man must’ve been upset that a family member died because his insurance wasn’t covered or his insurance wasn’t covered or it is a possibility it could be someone that he knows. Honestly I totally understand because you know people are signed up for that health insurance is most likely are not getting covered for that insurance. It’s hard to feel bad for this story after all he had a history of consumers threatening him after all for being denied of healthcare.

UPDATE: He Has Been Arrested!!!

Just to let you know I wrote this after I watch the news the day after the CEO was murdered and now this is the update I received that it is a possibility that the shooter has been caught. So I’m not sure if it’s confirmed or if they actually really got them.
