New York
A Visual Timeline of the UnitedHealthcare C.E.O. Shooting
A hunt continues for the gunman who killed the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, early on Wednesday. Here is what we know about the suspect’s movements before and immediately after the shooting, based on visual evidence and police statements.
Before the shooting
A person the police suspect was the gunman had stayed at the HI New York City Hostel near West 103rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side, according to law enforcement officials. Surveillance footage captured him there.
Early Wednesday before the shooting, surveillance cameras inside a Starbucks near West 56th Street and Avenue of the Americas captured the partially hidden face of the man believed to be the suspect. It is unclear exactly when the footage was captured.

Surveillance footage obtained by The New York Times shows the suspect walking in the area of the shooting around 15 minutes beforehand. In the video, he appears to be making a phone call as he walks on the sidewalk about 175 feet away from where Mr. Thompson was shot.

The shooting
The police said Mr. Thompson was seen on video walking on West 54th Street toward the entrance of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel, where UnitedHealthcare was holding its annual investors’ day gathering.
Footage obtained by The Times shows that the gunman approaches Mr. Thompson from behind and fires several shots. The gunman stops to fiddle with his weapon, which appears to have jammed, and then shoots again as he walks toward Mr. Thompson, who has collapsed to the ground.
Suspect flees
The gunman is seen in the video jogging across the street. A witness photo also captured a person believed to be the suspect cutting through a pedestrian passageway onto West 55th Street. The police later found a cellphone in the passageway.
The suspect then got on a bicycle and rode north, according to Joseph Kenny, the chief of detectives for the New York Police Department. Footage released by the department showed the person riding a bicycle, turning onto the Avenue of the Americas from West 55th Street.

“Patrick Ewing. He didn’t get a ring. But I wear your sneakers, bro. When I was in high school, back in the ’90s, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, they were the team that I rooted for in the ’90s. They didn’t make it. So as a tribute to him because this is where I started at being a fan, Patrick Ewing. Knicks hat in denim — I’m a denim fanatic. So I love denim — Knicks hat. And yeah, that’s it.” “This is my style. I usually dress like this every day. But I did a special Knicks edition. It’s all really fun. I start with my makeup. I did really cute flames on my eyes because the Knicks are fire. I don’t really know what I’m going to do before I put it on. I just figure it out along the way. Like, this is a piece of fabric and I just layer in stuff.” “This is from my online boutique and the hat I just bought on the way to the parade because I wanted to match the jumpsuit, and that’s how I came up with the outfit.” “She was ready to go, man.” “Can you show your fingernail?” “She’s been sleeping in her Jalen Brunson jersey for the last 10 weeks. We’ve been watching all the games. You want to tell them who’s your favorite player?” “Jalen Brunson.” “I’m pretty sure this jersey was actually made for a human baby. But they’re selling them around the block. And we threw it on Chester and everyone started clapping. So — he wears it well.” “Blue and orange.” “So I did blue and orange.” “It had to be orange and blue. “Orange and blue. Orange and blue.”

“It’s been 53 years. I’ve been waiting that long.” “It’s been a very long time, a long time coming. And I’m so excited that my Knicks finally brought a championship home.” “Let’s go Knicks.” “I had to wake up at six o’clock.” “Knicks in five.” “Let’s go, Knicks.” “Let’s go, Knicks!” “We just moved to D.C. a few years ago, but we’re so happy to be back in New York, celebrating. Once we won we were like — we’re absolutely coming home. So, we had to bring Chester with us. I mean, he’s the biggest puppy Knicks fan there is. Chester, can you say Knicks in 5? Knicks in five.” “I got hurt a couple weeks ago, but this is the first time they’ve been to the finals since I was a year old. And so to be able to be here, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.” “My man’s out here with a boot and a Josh Hart jersey. My man’s got heart.” “It feels so overwhelming but overwhelming in a good way, where, like, I want to be — I want to, like, shoot some balls. I want to, like, just vibe with everyone because everyone’s here for one purpose, and that’s celebrating the Knicks.” “This has been like a uniting situation for New Yorkers, and I just can’t wait to feel the love from everybody.” “I think it’s a great equalizer, right? It brings everyone together. It doesn’t matter if you make $900,000 a year, if you make $50,000 a year. You’re united because of the Knicks.” “So often when this city comes together, it is because we are forced to by a moment of tragedy or adversity. What a gift it is to be brought together by pure, unfiltered joy.” “Most importantly, thank you to the fans. I’m not going to lie though, y’all all are some pretty hard critics, but we appreciate it. At least I do, appreciate it a lot.”
