The gunman remains on the loose.
Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait for his intended target, she said.
Investigators are continuing to canvas the area.
It’s not 100% confirmed it was a hit man, but all signs point to it.
At the very least it wasn’t random, obviously.
Someone wanted him dead and someone who knew exactly where to be murdered him from behind.
It doesn’t get more hit-man’y than that.
People are now speculating why, and obviously the first thing that comes to mind is money.
This dude had a lot of money.
It’s easy to assume these big time CEOs know A LOT.
And clearly someone was out to get him.
Maybe we will find out why, maybe we won’t.
It’s all pretty crazy.
I’m not sure we’ve ever seen a murder like this.
And then even crazier, there was no get-away car.
Guy walked down an alley and then hopped on a Citi Bike.
Something is wildly fishy about that.
RIP to Brian Thompson.
And the hit man is somehow still on the loose as of publishing this.
A wild story that I expect will only get wilder as the days go on and details emerge.
