The killing was was a “brazen, targeted attack,” Jessica Tisch, the New York City police commissioner said. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called it a “horrific and targeted shooting.” Thompson was taken to a hospital but could not be saved. Police were still searching for the shooter as of late morning and no arrests had been made. Though officials said the attack appeared to be targeted, they did not yet have a motive for the shooting.“It seems to be clearly targeted by an individual and we will apprehend that individual,” Adams said.
