Authorities have identified the man suspected of killing UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson and are closing in on him, New York City Mayor Eric Adams was quoted as saying on Saturday by the New York Post.
Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect’s name for now to deny him any advantage. “We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

They are not releasing his name because that would tell him they know his name, but they are telling the press that they know his name
I totally have a girlfriend she goes to school in Canada
Does her dad work at Nintendo too?
A backpack resembling the one worn by the suspect has been recovered near a playground in Central Park, according to media reports. MSNBC said on Saturday that police examining the bag and its contents found a jacket and Monopoly money, but no firearm.
Stuffing your crime bag with monopoly money to fuck with the cops.
The man is actually the joker
I’m starting to suspect this is some calculated jokerfied influencer and not someone who recently lost a loved one. He was able to read the political economy like Mr Beast reads YouTube analytics.
It’s Hasan. He wasn’t really in London, it was just a clever way to stage an alibi
I get more Riddler vibes.
Now this is a killer with panache lmao, first it was the “Delay” and “Deny” written on the bullets and now this
don’t forget the thrd word! “Depose”
So, it was actually Deny, Defend, Depose.
The 3 Ds of insurance are Delay, Deny, Defend.
The lad is an entertainer he knows about the spectacle. Them finding cryptic clues is to deliberately keep him in the news. The longer he’s on the run the better, but more important is for how long this stays the news story.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen yet
I will never be this coolEric Adams: “bring me the Parker Brothers!”
he just keeps getting cooler
Death to America
A true sicko!
Eric Adams saying “the net is tightening” when they have a picture and possibly know that he left NYC on a bus lol
A picture that is not even confirmed to be the same dude beyond wearing a hoodie that might be the same one but the lighting makes it difficult to tell
I’m leaning towards that picture being a different dude as well. Someone innocent is gonna go down for this. Hopefully no one will believe it and we can get some 2020 back.
They’re going to kill some random guy and call him the Adjuster.
What game is that?
Ogre Battle 64
It’s incredibly based
That’s vanillaware right?
Nope, Quest.
Yeah this is a lie lol. Also nice jab at “hiding behind the mask”, a thing apparently all criminals do now since NYC wanted to ban those recently. Very cool to witness the reality invention in real time
My girlfriend goes to another school, you wouldn’t know her. Here’s a picture but she’s wearing a mask, no I don’t have a better one because she doesn’t like taking pictures
no I don’t have a better one because she doesn’t like taking pictures
She’s just like me fr fr
“We have video of him entering the Port Authority Bus Terminal. We don’t have any video of him exiting so we believe he may have gotten on a bus,”
Wow, I wasn’t aware they had Sherlock Holmes on the case lmao.
There’s probably video of the interiors of all the buses and the station but it will take a fair bit of time to go through it all.
You have to assume a significant failure rate for any equipment on a bus and then increase that a lot for equipment not vital to the functioning of the bus. Hope he chose a struggling operator.
I would laugh my ass off if they had an actual trail on him and lost it because a bus operator was too distressed over fighting their insurance over prescription drugs to upkeep the bus cam.
Good point as a general rule of thumb nothing works on a bus ever, and the longer the bus trip is the more shit doesnt work
Their claims don’t add up. They supposedly know he went to a bus terminal, but they can only assume that he took an interstate bus because they didn’t see him exit the terminal. So they don’t know which bus and they can’t even be completely sure that he did go on one at all.
This info is cool but they can’t tell you his name. That would tip him off too much.
Turns out optimus prime is real and he killed a ceo and then fled NYC disguised as a bus
He says they revealed his face but that security cam clearly isnt the same dude, straight lies
also the released pictures are wildly off … when he simles he has a black backpack , and the on Jacket has front pockets in the other it doesnt…
enters bus terminal wearing clothing meant to disguise identity
Removes or changes configuration of clothing to further obscure identity and features
Like how does anyone know he didn’t have a Hollywood level body suit and mask hidden in the bathroom ceiling tile? So fun to just assume so much stuff so i might as well, too. The guy actually just crawled into a hole and is waiting a week like the guy from that one bank robbery movie
Inside Man was genius.
Forgive me for being True Crime brained here a moment (I’m a
it’s in my blood I’m sorry) but the cops did something really similar during a widely publicized murder in Delphi, IN, where they held these press conferences assuring the killer they knew his name and identity but never reveaed itAnd then it took another couple years and the testimony of another unrelated suspect to even find the guy, so clearly they were blowing smoke to see if the guy would slip up or turn himself in (he did neither)
Eric Adams says a lot of things
Like “first stop’s always in Istanbul”
THAT’S RIGHT GUY, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE, WE’RE CLOSING IN. SO YOU MAY AS WELL TURN YOURSELF IN!!!
this is such obvious bullshit. “we’re gonna come out and say we know who he is, but we wont say his name because then he’s gonna know we know who he is”. yeah, i believe that. my supermodel girlfriend from another school made the same point.
Wouldn’t saying you know the name have the same effect on the perp as just dropping the name? If you want the dude to get cocky you just wouldn’t release any information. If I thought I might get caught this would make me take the same cautionary actions as if my name were released. In conclusion, this is bullshit and they’ve got nothing.
I still think they’re just gonna kill some random person and say it was the shooter to save face for the whole thing.
Serial bullshitter bullshits. Stenographers of power dutifully report said bullshit.
Many such cases
