Authorities again made public pictures of the gunman on Thursday, this time with his mask still on, inside a Starbucks a few streets from.
The Midtown Hilton where the murder would occur. Once again, he used cash to purchase a drink and a power bar.
The gunman would appear outside the hotel where Thompson was scheduled to speak at an investors’ gathering in a matter of minutes, at about 6:30 am.
The culprit was seen on camera shooting the father-of-two as he came outside, seemingly knowing this and waiting.
