The NYPD released new images of the suspect in the Wednesday shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. One shows him in a taxi after the incident. The suspect, wearing a mask and dark clothing, took a cab from the Upper West Side to a bus station near the George Washington Bridge.

The New York Police Department ( NYPD ) has released two new photographs of the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare 's CEO, with one photograph showing him seated in a taxi's back seat on the shooting day.

The killer shot Brian Thompson outside Manhattan's New York Hilton Midtown on Wednesday and is still not arrested despite an extensive search operation extending beyond New York City's boundaries.

A photograph shows the unknown suspect looking forward from the rear seat, wearing a blue surgical mask, dark headwear and black hood. The second photograph, taken through glass, shows him walking along the street wearing identical mask attire, a black puffer coat and hooded covering.

The suspect boarded a taxi at approximately 7 am Wednesday in the Upper West Side shortly after Thompson's shooting, according to police reports. The suspect travelled northward to a coach station near the George Washington Bridge, potentially boarding an interstate coach.

These photos are recent additions to evidence as authorities analyse thousands of surveillance footage hours to understand the suspect's movements. They also discovered bullet casings at the crime scene marked with "depose," "deny" and "delay" - potentially referencing insurance claim avoidance terminology.

Earlier, law enforcement located a rucksack in Central Park on Friday, potentially discarded by the suspect while cycling from the shooting location towards the Upper West Side, before taking the taxi. However, they had not yet officially confirmed the rucksack's ownership or its investigative significance.
