UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot outside of the Hilton Hotel in Midtown early Wednesday morning  in what police believe may be a targeted attack.

Brian Thompson, 50, was at the hotel at around 6:46 a.m. arriving early for a conference when a masked man allegedly waiting for him fired at the CEO repeatedly and fled eastbound off of 6th Avenue, police sources told The Post.

Thomas was rushed to the Mt Sinai Hospital in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead, police said.

UnitedHealth Group was hosting its investor day at the New York Hilton hotel in midtown.

Officials said no arrests have been made yet and that the investigation is still ongoing.

UnitedHealth Group canceled its investor day after reports emerged of the shooting. Thompson led UnitedHealthcare, the largest private health insurer in the U.S.

Thompson was named chief executive officer for UnitedHealthcare in April 2021.
