Authorities have identified the man suspected of killing UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson and are closing in on him, New York City Mayor Eric Adams was quoted as saying on Saturday by the New York Post.

Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect’s name for now to deny him any advantage. “We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

    If you were withholding the name to not let him know that you knew their name

    Why would you announce that you know their name?

    Real “Your friends already ratted you out, might as well be honest” vibes

      cop came to my house and said that to me over some suspicion that i egged sometimes house

      i said i had nothing to do with it

      he said my friend already confessed so what should happen to him

      i said I’m not a judge or jury so that’s none of my business

      then he fumbled through my Miranda rights from a card in his pocket and then left…

      cops are dumb as fuck
