After the murder of United Healthcare's CEO, Brian Thompson, the police have made a discovery. A backpack believed to have been carried by the suspected perpetrator was found in Central Park on Friday evening.

The police have not disclosed what was found in the backpack, but the bag and its contents will be analyzed.

The shooter is believed to have left New York by bus after shooting the CEO of the American insurance company with multiple shots early on Thursday morning outside a hotel on Manhattan.

The suspected perpetrator was caught on several surveillance cameras around the city, including smiling at a hotel.

The FBI announced on Friday evening that they are offering 50,000 dollars for information about the perpetrator that leads to an arrest or conviction.
