United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan early Wednesday morning. The gunman is still at large and has yet to be identified but the motives behind the killing are becoming clearer as more info comes out. ABC News Crime and Terrorism Analyst Brad Garrett spoke with the WOR Morning Show about the killing and the newest report of the bullet casings found at the scene having the words “deny, defend, depose” written on them.

“If you want to focus only on that and nothing else, that would certainly suggest this was an anger revenge killing of some sort,” Garrett tells host Larry Mendte.

While there is still more to learn about this incident, Garrett thinks the motive is clear: “That doesn’t tell you whether this kid’s a contractor or not.” Garrett added, “But it does tell you that it is personal.”
