According to Kenny, the gunman entered the pavement from behind a vehicle and shot the CEO in the back after Thompson left his hotel across the street and made his way to the Hilton for the meeting.
“The gunman then approaches the victim and keeps shooting. He removes the blockage and starts shooting again, suggesting that the pistol isn’t working properly,” he added.
Police sources informed ABC News that a phone thought to be connected to the gunman was found in an alley where the suspect fled on foot.
According to authorities, he then rode off on a bike and was last seen entering Central Park at 6:48 a.m. According to reports, detectives are trying to ascertain if the suspect had the bike set up nearby.
