‘Deny,’ ‘Defend, ‘Depose’: What To Know About Words Reportedly On Shell Casings Tied To UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting (Forbes)

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown on Wednesday morning ahead of a company investor meeting. Police described the shooting as a “brazen targeted attack,” with the suspected gunman reportedly waiting for several minutes before firing. Shell casings found at the scene allegedly bore the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose,” echoing criticisms of insurance companies’ claim practices. While authorities have not confirmed a motive or suspect, Thompson had previously received threats. The NYPD is offering a $10,000 reward for information as the investigation continues.
