Part 9/10:
Thompson was struck in the back and calf, suffering fatal injuries and pronounced dead shortly after being transported to Roosevelt Hospital. His wife reported that Thompson had received threats recently, though specific details remain undisclosed. NYPD detectives are reviewing GPS data from shared city bikes, social media, and gathering testimony from family and colleagues to determine a motive.
Authorities emphasize the seriousness of this targeted killing, which appears to be an assassination rather than a random act of violence. The gunman remains at large, and the investigation continues. This high-profile murder underscores the potential risks and vulnerabilities of influential corporate figures despite the city’s efforts to maintain safety.
