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."

    THAT'S RIGHT GUY, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE, WE'RE CLOSING IN. SO YOU MAY AS WELL TURN YOURSELF IN!!!

    this is such obvious bullshit. "we're gonna come out and say we know who he is, but we wont say his name because then he's gonna know we know who he is". yeah, i believe that. my supermodel girlfriend from another school made the same point.
