New York City police have recovered a gray backpack believed to belong to the gunman who fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The bag was discovered on Friday night near the merry-go-round in Central Park, close to the suspect's alleged e-bike escape route. Investigators are sending the backpack to a lab for analysis, though it is unclear if the murder weapon was found inside. Thompson was gunned down three days earlier, and the search for the suspect continues.
