Thompson was shot and killed on a street in midtown Manhattan at around 6:46 a.m. on the 4th (local time).
Citing police sources, the New York Post said the bullet and bullet left by the masked shooter after shooting Thompson several times appeared to contain the words 'deny', 'depose' and 'defend'.
Police said they recovered three 9mm live bullets and three shells fired at the scene.
The source estimated that the shooter may have tried to leave a message, as several of the evidence contained one word each. The masked shooter used a silencer, which was analyzed to be a man who could handle firearms skillfully based on his seasoned and calm posture.
However, he made several major mistakes, the sources said.
Before the crime, he was found to have stopped at a nearby Starbucks and dumped his coffee cup in the trash, so the police secured it as evidence.
Investigators also reportedly found a cellphone in an alleyway near the Hilton Hotel that appeared to be the killer's.
The attacker rode an electric bicycle while fleeing on foot and was last seen in Central Park.
Police pursuing the criminal said they would pay $10,000 as a reward for the caller.
Meanwhile, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot one time each in his back and right calf and was taken to hospital, but eventually died at 7:12 a.m.
Police believe it is a premeditated targeted crime.
Thompson, who joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004, was named CEO of UnitedHealthcare in April 2021.
United Healthcare is the world's largest healthcare company, with a market capitalization of $563 billion (about 796 trillion won).
