  • NYC Mayor Announces Identification Of Suspect In UnitedHealth Executive’s Murder, Says ‘The Net Is Tightening’

    NYC Mayor Announces Identification Of Suspect In UnitedHealth Executive’s Murder, Says ‘The Net Is Tightening’

    Authorities have identified the individual believed to be the murderer of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson and are closing in on him, as reported by New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Saturday, according to the Reuters.

    “The net is tightening,”

    Adams told reporters. 

    During a Police Athletic League holiday event in Harlem, Adams chose not to disclose the suspect’s name to the press.

    “We don’t want to release that now,”

    the mayor said.

    “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking… Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask.”

    Thompson, 50, who took on the role of CEO of UnitedHealth’s insurance division in April 2021, was shot in the back around 6:45 a.m. ET on Wednesday. Police described the incident as a targeted attack. The shooting occurred just prior to the company’s annual investor conference at the Hilton hotel on Sixth Avenue. Thompson, sustained gunshot wounds to his back and leg, and was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after the incident.

    The shooting led to a massive manhunt for the suspect, who ran away wearing a hooded jacket, balaclava and a gray backpack. He then rode an electric bike into Central Park, according to police. On Friday, police said they believe the suspect has left New York City after video showed him getting into a taxi that took him to a bus station. 

    “We have video of him entering the Port Authority Bus Terminal… Those buses are interstate buses. That’s why we believe he may have left New York City,”

    New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told CNN. 

    MSNBC reported on Saturday that police discovered a jacket and Monopoly money inside the bag, but no firearm. The New York police have announced a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter, while the FBI has boosted that amount by adding an additional $50,000.

  • Woman Who Pepper Sprayed A Muslim Uber Driver For No Reason Charged With Hate Crime

    Woman Who Pepper Sprayed A Muslim Uber Driver For No Reason Charged With Hate Crime

    A young woman was indicted for a hate crime after she pepper-sprayed a Muslim Uber driver in Manhattan during the summer, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said, per NY Post

    Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, was charged in New York State Supreme Court with two counts of assault as a hate crime and aggravated harassment for the unprovoked attack, which happened without on July 31. The incident took place near Lexington Avenue and East 66th Street, as stated by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. 

    The driver, Shohel Mahmud, later said that Guilbeault attacked him because of his skin color.

    “Her friend, she is yelling, ‘Jen, Jen, what the f–k, what are you doing? What’s going on?’”

    Mahmud told The Post days after the attack.

    “Her friend is asking ‘Why did you do that?’ And she say, ‘He’s brown.’” 

    Guilbeault was sitting in the backseat with another woman around 12:15 a.m. when she suddenly sprayed the harmful substance in the 45-year-old driver’s eyes, as shown in videos shared on social media. The driver, Mahmud, said he hadn’t talked to the women when he picked them up in Midtown. Bragg mentioned that Guilbeault attacked the driver when he started praying in Arabic as they approached a red light. 

    At the time Mahmud believed the women were trying to rob him and jumped out of the car. When the car started moving slowly without him, he got back inside, and Guilbeault sprayed him again. Police arrested Guilbeault at the scene but initially only gave her a ticket. Her lawyer argued that the incident shouldn’t be considered a hate crime.

    “Ms. Guilbeault was not motivated by race, religion, national origin, or any other discriminatory factor,”

    Michael J. Alber said in a statement. Her next court date is scheduled for January 13.
