Say what you will, he has great dental insurance. His dentist is probably relieved HE wasn't the target.

the shooter in the footage has a light-colored backpack
this dude's backpack is black
i don't think handsome jacket dude is the guy, but they can focus on him for a few weeks while the real guy gets away, which is the ideal scenario
edit:
magical color-changing backpack!
Reversible backpacks exist. It'd be a smart thing to do to change your appearance, but I agree the colors do look different. However, CCTV cameras are really, really bad at color. Really bad. So who knows. If that smiling guy isn't the guy, he probably is glad to know how many people think he's a handsome fella.

New images released of suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killing without a mask, as manhunt shifts to UWS

The NYPD on Thursday released new images of the gunman wanted for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as the manhunt led police to the Upper West Side, officials said.
The images, taken at the HI New York City Hostel on Amsterdam Ave. near W. 104th St., show the suspect without a mask and smiling at someone as he stands by the front desk.
The surveillance images were taken before Thompson was gunned down outside a Hilton hotel in Midtown, police sources said. Detectives swarmed the hostel at about 4 p.m. Wednesday after tracking the gunman to the location.
The gunman was staying in a fourth-floor room of the hostel before the shooting, according to hostel residents. It was not immediately disclosed how long he had stayed in the low-priced room before the shooting occurred.
Matheus Taranto, who was visiting the U.S. from Brazil and was staying in a room next to the suspect, realized something was off when all the police arrived and began running forensic tests in one of the bathrooms used by floor tenants.
“I was going to brush my teeth, and there was [a detective] and he was like, ‘No, you can’t go to this bathroom,’” Taranto, 24, recalled. “I asked him why, if something happened, and he was like, ‘No, nothing. Nothing major happened right now. You don’t have to worry.’”
“He just shoved it off,” Taranto said about the detective.
He didn’t realize until Thursday that they were looking for the man who killed Thompson. The room he had been staying in was locked Thursday, Taranto said.
“I’m used to violence because I’m from Rio de Janeiro,” said Taranto, a sports reporter who arrived from Brazil on Thanksgiving to catch some local basketball and football games. “There’s a lot there, but, like, not this kind. [Not] professional assassin stuff. So yeah, it was pretty shocking.”
The NYPD put out images of the suspect Thursday in the hopes someone recognizes him.
“The full investigative efforts of the NYPD are continuing, and we are asking for the public’s help,” the NYPD said on X as they released the new images.
Hostel tenant Camilla De Heer, who is visiting New York from Kingston, Ontario, said she and a friend returned to the hostel about 1 a.m. Thursday morning only to learn that one of their fellow tenants was a killer.
“[Wednesday] evening was the first night that we stayed, so it was quite eventful,” she told the Daily News. “We saw a very, very drunk guy in our hostel downstairs. He said he saw the shooter. We just didn’t really take him serious, because we thought, ‘you have drunk a lot.’”
The witness recognized the shooter from the surveillance pics, De Heer, 26, said.
“I know it’s him!” the drunk man kept screaming, she recalled. “I saw him, and it was my neighbor!”
“I think we also just thought it can’t be so we just ignored it,” De Heer said, now realizing their drunk neighbor was right.
Detectives have been visiting hostels in the area after they tracked the suspect to the area, police sources said.
The suspect killed Thompson, 50, as he walked to a Hilton hotel on W. 54th St. and Sixth Ave. where he was about to address colleagues and company investors at an conference, police said.
Harrowing surveillance footage shows the man shoot Thompson in the back then cooly clear a jam in his pistol, before firing at least three more times.
He fled the scene on a bicycle and disappeared in Central Park, but cops picked up his trail late Wednesday night on the Upper West Side.
Police are offering $10,000 reward for any information leading to the gunman’s capture.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

Listen, I voted Trump because the other option should have been drowned at birth. BUT, anyone that thinks all these people aren’t corporate pigs and bad people are fucking retarded. Without every single one of them, the world is an infinitely better place.

You see, this is my main issue with our modern billionaires. They don’t even build cool buildings like the gilded age ones did. I would be fine with debilitating wealth inequality as long as we got cool buildings out of it.

They can only be fags on welfare with great free healthcare thanks to selling out the nation to rich Chinese “property investors”….and charging $30 for a pack of cigarettes.
Billions also go a lot further in a nation with a tiny population
People are going to be so disappointed if this guy was just denied a promotion, or was fired, from United Healthcare Group.

Plus "handsome jacket dude" can file a wrongful arrest lawsuit and win too.
I want the powers-that-be to suffer maximum embarrassment throughout all this. It would amuse me greatly.
Is that a real tweet? I can not find it on his xitter. Be careful.

@Hey Johnny Bravo i don’t know why I can’t respond to you; maybe because you’re new. Anyway, there is nothing in your post that I disagree with. I have lived half of my life in The US and half of my life in Scandinavia. I’ve experienced every type of health insurance known to man including 100% out of pocket and 100% out of the tax payers pocket. The absolute best care I’ve ever received was the HMO coverage I had working a shitty grocery store job in Southern California. Full coverage. Nothing cost me more than 20-25 dollars a visit and the care was comprehensive and competent. Second best was my Blue Cross 80/20 plan some years later. The absolute worst piece of shit healthcare I have ever experienced in my life has been that through the Swedish healthcare system. The incompetence knows no bounds. It’s actually terrifying because there is no compensation for mal practice here. If a doctor fucks you up, they just get moved to another district. I know because it happened to me. I won’t see a doctor here unless it’s absolutely necessary because of that. I hear and read similar stories of other victims of social healthcare in other countries similar to this one: Norway, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands. It makes me so angry when Americans want to trash their system of options for one where the only option is your pay out of pocket for private care on top of getting raped by taxes, though I will give Sweden all the credit it deserves for not doing any of that medical tyranny shit that the states did with the muzzles and quackseens. Nothing changed here for us other than people getting to work from home so I’m grateful for that. I do get that Obamacare is absolute dogshit so rolling back to something like in the late 90s or early 2ks would be a fair idea, but social medicine? Americans don’t know what they’re pushing for. I went back to have my baby in California and I didn’t have insurance so I went down and got straight up ghetto ass mediCal. Even THAT was better than the crap I’ve experienced in both Norway and Sweden.

Couldn't see anything about this on his Twitter when I checked.
Also is that even his current Xitter Avatar? This stinks of Reddit.

He's #winning. He enjoyed Amber Turd early, forced her to cosplay, and got away with it.
