UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassin may have left message on bullets used in murder: sources

The at-large suspect who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown hotel may have left a message on the bullets he used to kill the executive Wednesday morning, according to police sources.
The NYPD is investigating the possible message — which appears to include the words “deny,” “depose” and “defend” — engraved on live rounds and shell casings left behind by the masked assassin after he shot Thompson, 50, several times at about 6:46 a.m. before fleeing, the sources said.
The words are strikingly similar to a 2010 book condemning the insurance business, in which Thompson is one of the most powerful leaders.
