Part 3/6:
The police investigation suggests that the shooter had been lying in wait for several minutes before approaching Thompson from behind as he was making his way to attend an investor conference scheduled to commence at 8:00 a.m. Evidence indicates that the shooter fired multiple rounds, striking Thompson at least once in the back and once in the right calf.
Eyewitnesses reported that many pedestrians passed by the suspect, who appeared to deliberately wait for his intended target. After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene on foot before switching to an e-bike and last being seen in Central Park.
