The gun found on the suspect charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week matches shell casings located at the crime scene, New York City’s police commissioner said on Dec. 11.

“We were able to match that gun to the three shell casings that we found in midtown at the scene of the homicide,” New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a news conference in Staten Island. The gun is now at the NYPD crime lab, she said.
