Police are questioning a man in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with the shooting and killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, two law enforcement officials familiar with the matter tell CNN.
Working off of a tip, police stopped a person traveling by bus and recovered a suppressor and a number of false IDs, one of the officials added.
That man is now in custody and being questioned.
This is a breaking news update. CNN's previous story continues below.
He’s out there – somewhere.
Nearly a week after a gunman fatally shot a health care executive on a busy New York City street, authorities know what the suspect looks like but they don’t know who or where he is. Through glimpses of his unmasked face, his movements through the country’s largest city and the belongings police say he discarded, he seems almost familiar but remains a mystery.
The public, too, has seen the suspect in surveillance photos and videos – including one with him pointing the weapon at UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s back – and as he continues to evade capture in the December 4 killing outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel.
