On Wednesday, December 4, an unidentified man fatally shot<\/a> UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, outside the New York Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. Thompson was to attend the annual investor UnitedHealthcare conference when the shooter opened fire, hitting 50-year-old Thompson in the chest. He was quickly rushed to the Mount Sinai Hospital but was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n\"Brian<\/picture>\n

The NYPD has not arrested any suspects at this time but believes that this was a targeted shooting. According to them, the masked gunman was waiting for Thompson to arrive. Once he saw him, he opened fire from 20 feet away, according to CNN<\/a>. He arrived at Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his wounds.<\/p>\n

“We’re dealing with a very serious medical situation with one of our team members, and as a result, I’m afraid we’re going to have to bring to a close the event today,” Andrew Witty, CEO of UnitedHealth Group said. UnitedHealthcare is part of the UnitedHealth Group and Brian Thompson was named CEO of UnitedHealthcare in April 2021.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post<\/a>, the shooter was carrying a grey backpack, wearing a black mask<\/a>, a cream-colored jacket, and black and white sneakers. Witnesses spotted the shooter walking around 6th Avenue, close to the New York Hilton Hotel. Investigators believe that the shooter was not a guest at the UnitedHealthcare annual investor conference.<\/p>\n

Following the shooting, the gunman, reportedly, fled the scene through a Ziegfeld alleyway and then used a bike to escape. Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Brian Thompson, CEO<\/h2>\n

Brian Thompson joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004, according to the group’s website<\/a>. Before becoming UnitedHealthcare CEO, he served as chief financial officer for “UnitedHealthcare’s Employer & Individual, Community & State and Medicare & Retirement businesses.”<\/p>\n

UnitedHealth Group ranks fourth in the Fortune 500. It describes<\/a> itself as a “health care and well-being company” looking to help individuals live healthier and aiming to improve the existing health system. Furthermore, they work alongside healthcare professionals and support “physician\/patient” relationships, looking to “expand access to high-quality health care” and “empower people with the information, guidance, and tools they need to make personal health choices and decisions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
