New evidence suggests that the suspect who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Wednesday may have left a message behind on the bullet casings at the scene.Police sources told the New York Post that the words « deny, » « depose » and « defend » were written on the live rounds and casings left behind by the assassin after the shooting.Evidence also shows that each bullet and casing had just one word written on it leading them to believe he may have been trying to leave a message, sources said.In a shocking video obtained by Fox News Digital, Thompson is seen walking down a New York City sidewalk when a masked man wearing a black hooded jacket and a backpack walks up behind him and raises a handgun.SECURITY RAMPED UP FOR ANNUAL ROCKEFELLER CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING AFTER GUNMAN KILLED UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEOThe culprit fires off several shots.
