Police believe the person wanted in connection with the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson left New York City on a bus from Upper Manhattan shortly after the killing.

Senior New York Police Department officials told CNN that surveillance footage showed the subject riding a bicycle from the scene of Wednesday’s fatal shooting in midtown Manhattan to Central Park and then exiting the park near West 77th Street on a bicycle .

Other footage shows this person walking along West 86th Street and Columbus Avenue before getting into a taxi that took him about five miles north to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Washington Heights, right next to the George Washington Bridge, shared the police with.

According to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny, the man then entered the bus station.

“These buses are intercity buses,” Kenny told CNN. “That’s why we think he might have left
New York City.

Kenny said police are trying to determine which bus the man may have boarded.

“We have video of him entering the Port Authority Bus Terminal. We don’t have any video of him leaving, so we’re assuming he may have gotten on a bus,” Kenny said.

In addition to westbound buses, the terminal also has shuttle buses that transport passengers to Fort Lee, New Jersey and locations further west via the GWB across the Hudson River.

Law enforcement sources said Thursday that the unidentified suspect in Thompson’s shooting traveled from Atlanta on a Greyhound bus that arrived in Manhattan on Nov. 24.

That was two days before UnitedHealth Group, UnitedHealthcare’s parent company, announced it would host an investor day on Dec. 4 at the Hilton Hotel in Midtown.

Thompson, 50, was shot as he tried to enter the Hilton by a gunman wearing a mask or neck gaiter over his face.
