The chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, one of the nation’s largest insurers, was killed in midtown Manhattan in what police described as a targeted attack by a shooter outside a hotel where the company was holding a conference. The shooter fled on foot into an alleyway and was last seen on an e-bike heading into Central Park. New York City police said the attack Wednesday on Brian Thompson was planned, but the motive was not yet clear. Police said Thompson was heading to the company’s annual investor conference at a hotel when a person walked up behind him and began firing.
