FBI offers $50,000 reward for information about gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare’s CEO
Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing.
Summary
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The gunman, who arrived in New York City on November 24th, shot Thompson on December 4th outside a hotel hosting an investor conference.
Investigators believe the gunman, who concealed his identity with a mask, fled the city on a bus, leaving behind a backpack in Central Park.
You're viewing a single thread.
So what's the justification for the feds being involved? What other state is involved other than NY?
they lost track of him at a bus station so I guess they;re using that as a flimsy pretext to pass the investigation off from the famously incompetent NYPD.
The FBI isnt much better.
Agreed but they are the only manager the spooked elites could find to speak to.
Maybe the idea is that he moved out of state?
Don't they get involved in pretty much any high profile crime if the local police force asks for their help?
FBI investigative authority includes federal crimes that cross state lines, public corruption, civil rights violations, and national security matters, among others. -per DDG.
I'm guessing their claim is it's crossed state lines.
Nah, all CSAM incidents go straight to the FBI. It doesn't need to be cross State lines
The comment you replied to was referring to this particular murder in that last sentence. If NYPD have some evidence that the shooter fled across state lines, that is likely the justification for the FBI to get involved .
