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."

    “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.

        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
