New evidence has revealed that the suspect who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson may have inscribed a message on a bullet casing used in the shooting.
Authorities have reported the words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend” were inscribed on casings found at the scene of the shooting.
The police further reported that the words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend” were written on each bullet casing separately which leaves authorities to believe he was sending a message.
The suspect who killed Thompson is still at large.

Evidence also shows that each bullet and casing had just one word written on it leading them to believe he may have been trying to leave a message, sources said.

Per NBC News:
Shell casings found at the scene where the UnitedHealthcare CEO was shot dead by a masked gunman in front of a busy New York City hotel had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” written on them, a senior New York City law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed to NBC News on Thursday.
Brian Thompson, 50, was killed in a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack” outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Sixth Avenue in the heart of Manhattan, police said.
He was on his way to speak at UnitedHealth Group’s investor conference when the gunman who had been lying in wait for several minutes approached from behind and fired at least once into his back and at least once in the right calf, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told a news conference Wednesday.
Police say they don’t yet know the motive of the gunman, who they say is still at large.
