But the man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York City sidewalk managed to evade capture for days – puzzling even law enforcement experts. Instead, the suspect took a Greyhound bus to New York, law enforcement sources told CNN. Investigators are still trying to determine where the suspect boarded, said John Miller, CNN’s chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst. He checked into a hostel on Manhattan’s Upper West Side using a fake New Jersey driver’s license, a law enforcement official told CNN. Leaving the backpack behind may have been a smart move on the suspect’s part, law enforcement experts said.

Major insurance stocks have fallen more than 6% since their closing prices last Tuesday, the day before the deadly shooting of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealth Group 's insurance arm, in midtown Manhattan. That includes UnitedHealth, CVS Health and Cigna , which operate three of the nation's largest private health insurers. Americans have criticized insurance companies over denied coverage for services or treatments, unexpected bills, hefty out-of-pocket costs and the dizzying complexity of navigating coverage, among other issues. While backlash to the industry has mounted since the shooting, Holz said the negative stock reaction will likely wind up being "fairly short-lived." He added that he does not expect insurance companies to make material changes to their policies in response to the killing.

New York CNN —After police found the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” printed on shell casings near the site where UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down, merchandise bearing those words started to appear online. The phrase might be linked to a 2010 book critiquing the health insurance industry titled, “Delay Deny Defend,” a common description of the industry’s tactics. Those words appeared on a number of items on Amazon’s store, including hats, T-shirts and pint glasses. The suspect in the case has garnered sympathy and online fandom partly because of people’s problems with the health insurance industry. Commenters also shared a similar sentiment on Yelp, however Yelp turned off commenting on the McDonald’s location’s page.

The suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is a private school valedictorian and tech whiz, who used social media to critique society. Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Maryland, maintains several social media accounts, including a Goodreads profile he used to give the anti-technology manifesto penned by "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski a four-out-of-five star review. While Kaczynski was a "violent individual" and "rightfully imprisoned," his actions are "more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary," Mangione wrote. Mangione's review also shared unattributed quotes justifying violence against corporations and their leaders: "When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive." When Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday morning, authorities said he was carrying his own manifesto, a three-page, handwritten document.
