Per NBC New York<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

A man in the Altoona, Pennsylvania, area is being questioned Monday in connection with last week\u2019s UnitedHealthcare CEO killing in Manhattan, in part because he was found with a gun similar to the one used in the shooting, according to two sources familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

The sources say it is too soon to determine if his case is connected to the death of Brian Thompson, but they are investigating it as a potentially significant development. NYPD detectives are headed to the area to question the person and assist investigators, the sources said.<\/p>\n

The development comes as a private funeral is set to be held Monday for Thompson, the 50-year-old executive gunned down at point-blank range as he headed to a midtown hotel for an investors\u2019 conference last week, according to a source familiar with the plans.<\/p>\n

Five days after the shooting \u2014 by a man captured on surveillance cameras across Manhattan \u2014 the killer remains on the loose. The nation\u2019s largest police department is after him, along with the FBI, as the trail takes detectives to Atlanta. Despite obtaining a clear image of his face among other evidence, authorities have yet to identify him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On Saturday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams indicated to reporters Saturday that the UnitedHealth CEO\u2019s shooter has been identified<\/a> after a days-long ongoing manhunt.<\/p>\n

However, he declined to say whether or not they have the suspect\u2019s name, stating that he doesn\u2019t want to tip off \u201cthe person we are seeking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not want to give him an upper hand at all,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n

The NYPD released images Friday night showing the alleged murderer in the back of a taxi after fleeing the scene of the brazen early-morning shooting,\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

According to the NYPD, the suspect\u2019s carefully orchestrated movements began moments after the 6:48 a.m. shooting near Central Park. Surveillance cameras captured him entering the park and later exiting onto 77th Street in the Upper West Side at 6:56 a.m.<\/p>\n

The assassin, still riding an electric bike, was next seen near 86th Street and Columbus Avenue. By 7:04 a.m., he abandoned his bike and entered a taxi at 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, heading north. Within 30 minutes, he reached the Port Authority bus terminal, where investigators believe he boarded a bus and fled the city.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail has also obtained newly released photos from the NYPD, showing the alleged killer seated in the back of a cab.<\/p>\n

The Gateway Pundit reported that the NYPD had recovered a backpack on Friday believed to belong to the masked gunman who brazenly assassinated<\/a> UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson.<\/span><\/p>\n

The unopened bag has been sent for forensic analysis to extract potential DNA, fingerprints, or other evidence that could identify the suspect.<\/p>\n

NYPD Chief of Detectives Kenny described the backpack as \u201cvery distinctive\u201d and noted that its recovery could provide crucial leads in the case, per the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0NYPD\u00a0officials, a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money<\/a> were found inside the suspect\u2019s backpack.<\/p>\n

The NYPD has revealed that a cell phone recovered near the scene of the crime is believed to be a burner device, according to News Nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u200bThe burner phone found near the crime scene is seen as a significant piece of evidence by law enforcement.\u200b Authorities are working to retrieve fingerprints, DNA, and other clues from the device, as it may provide insights into the suspect\u2019s communications and activities before the shooting. Even though it is considered a disposable phone, there is potential for it to yield critical information once it is unlocked<\/p>\n

In addition to the burner phone, other items were left at the scene, such as shell casings with the words \u201cdeny,\u201d \u201cdepose,\u201d and \u201cdefend\u201d inscribed on them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a developing story\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
