“He was just going to the gym and doing his thing, but I could just tell he was a little low,” she told Us Weekly Dec. 3., adding that James was in a state of “grieving.”

We just did that, and now we can move on.’”

What do investigators know about the shooting of Brian Thompson so far?
According to Kenny, the shooter—who has yet to be named or arrested—headed to the New York Hilton Midtown on foot and arrived outside the hotel five minutes before Thompson’s arrival.
In a video, Kenny continued, Thompson was seen walking alone towards the Hilton at 6:44 a.m. after exiting his separate, nearby hotel apparently for a UnitedHealth Group investors conference that was scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. that day.
The chief detective added the shooter—who ignored “numerous other pedestrians”—approached Thompson from behind, shot him, walked towards him and continued shooting.
Kenny said the gunman then fled on foot before getting on an ebike, and the shooter was seen riding into Central Park at Center Drive at 6:48 a.m.
Kenny said three live nine-millimeter rounds and three discharged shell casings were recovered during the investigation. A senior New York City law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told NBC News Dec. 5 the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” were written on the shell casings.
However, Kenny noted the motive for the killing is still unknown.
He added a cellphone was discovered in an alley where the shooter fled before walking on a sidewalk toward the ebike, but it’s unclear if it belonged to the gunman.
Kenny also said investigators are “looking at everything”—including Thompson’s social media and interviews with employees and family—that could help in the case. They’re also working with Minnesota and Atlanta law enforcement.

There is apprehension in Okuama, Ughelli South LGA of Delta State, over the death of the President General of the community, Pa James Oghoroko, in military detention.
Oghoroko is one of the leaders arrested by the Nigerian military since August 2024 over the killing of 17 soldiers.
Late Oghoroko was arrested alongside Prof Arthur Ekpekpo, Chief Belvis Adogbo, Dennis Okugbaye, Pa Anthony Ahwemuria and Mrs Rita Akata between August 18 and 20, 2024, and had remained in detention since.
The news of his death was revealed by leaders of Okuama during an emergency meeting held in the community on Thursday.
