The shooting occurred around 6:45 a.m. (ET) outside the Hilton on Sixth Avenue, where the company's annual investor conference was about to take place. Thompson was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police said the gunman remains at large.
«This does not appear to be a random act of violence,» New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference. «Every indication is that this was a premeditated, pre-planned, targeted attack.»
The suspect, wearing a mask and carrying a gray backpack, fled on foot before mounting an electric bike and riding into Central Park, police said.
Video showed the gunman arrived outside the Hilton about five minutes before Thompson. He ignored several other people walking by, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters. When Thompson approached the hotel, the gunman shot him in the back with a pistol and then continued firing, even after his gun appeared to jam.
