New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the initial police probe revealed “this was not a random act of violence. It appears as though this is a targeted murder,” he said, seeking to reassure the city’s residents, businesses and tourists. Thompson had a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to Mount Sinai West in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead.
At the investor day Wednesday morning, UnitedHealth executives continued their presentations until about 9:10 a.m., when the company addressed the crowd.
