The Police Department has released two new images of the man it believes fatally shot the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, including one showing him in the back seat of a taxi on the day of the shooting.
The images were released late Saturday night as the frantic investigation continued to identify and track down the killer of Brian Thompson, 50, the health care executive gunned down outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday.
One image, captured from the front of the cab, appears to show the unidentified suspect peering forward from the vehicle’s back seat with his face partially obscured by a blue surgical mask, a dark hat and a black hood. The other image, apparently recorded through a window, shows the man walking on the street wearing the same mask, a black puffer jacket and a hood pulled over his head.
…
No fucking way…
Paywall removed. Haven’t gotten the second image to load tho.
/edit: from news ap:
Very different jackets vs the last photo
This image from the hostel desk is from November 24th, a full 10 days before the shooting.
True, but most people traveling don’t bring along multiple heavy jackets, just the one.
Given, this guy isn’t “most people”.
They’re currently questioning a guy someone ID’d in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
He had a pistol and silencer on him.

More fuel for the memes, eh?
I live in California, I saw that guy at a Starbucks this morning. He was flirting with the baristas.
Why is there a picture of donald trump jr in a cab in the story?? OMG is HE the shooter???
You’d think he was expecting this picture to come out with how intently he stares into the camera
It’s a still photo. He could have glanced at it for a split second.
intently
Isn’t that Paul Atreides?
This guy wore at least 3 different jackets according to these pictures.
Ok, thank you!
I’ve been wondering if I’m the crazy one… the picture that is supposed to be the guy at the hostel… his jacket has breast pockets. The jacket on the guy in the picture from the actual scene of the shooting does not appear to have those pockets. But I don’t really see anyone mentioning that very often.
Crazy ones are the NYPD
Change of clothing is a reasonable approach if hiding from the law, no?
I am Spartacus
Hey Sparticus. It’s me, Sparticus.
That’s clearly a woman wearing a Timothee Chalamet mask.
Paul Reubens?
RIP Pee-Wee :(
I await the memes of this icon to be generated. Day five and still out there, well done.
It’s funny how medical books cover the eyes to disguise the person and on this one they have eyes but no identity.
I actually just realized that the covering of the eyes is probably more effective for people who aren’t autistic. It’s always seemed insane to me that people can’t recognize something if only the eyes are covered,!but I do look at peoples eyes a whole lot less than others do.
It’s not just you. Masks also break facial recognition software. Covering the eyes actually is kind of useless
I’m terrible with faces and introduce myself to the same people repeatedly. They could have their entire face uncovered and their name tattooed across their forehead and i probably still wouldn’t recognize them.
