Summary
The NYPD released unmasked photos of the suspect in the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Dec. 4.
Surveillance footage traced the suspect’s movements before and after the crime, including his escape on an e-bike.
Investigators uncovered cryptic words on shell casings at the scene and recovered items possibly containing DNA evidence.
Authorities are using facial recognition and offering a $10,000 reward for tips. NYC Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the attack was premeditated and involved a silencer. Motive remains unknown.
Just as a note - with the assumption that you weren’t being mean-spirited and just making an innocent joke - the “did you just assume their gender” meme was started and continues to be used by transphobes to make a caricature of trans folks self-identification.
Most trans folks dress and manner themselves to be pretty clearly identified as their preferred gender - so while occasional innocent misgenderings may happen most misgenderings are assholes being assholes.
I just wanted to clarify why your joke didn’t land in case you were unaware.
