Authorities have identified the man suspected of killing UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson and are closing in on him, New York City Mayor Eric Adams was quoted as saying on Saturday by the New York Post.

Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect’s name for now to deny him any advantage. “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 and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

    A picture that is not even confirmed to be the same dude beyond wearing a hoodie that might be the same one but the lighting makes it difficult to tell

      I’m leaning towards that picture being a different dude as well. Someone innocent is gonna go down for this. Hopefully no one will believe it and we can get some 2020 back.
