UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooter’s Possible Jacket Flying Off Shelves After Sleuth Speculation

Internet sleuths believe they have found the jacket worn by the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson … and now it is morbidly flying off the shelves.

On Reddit, a user speculated the suspect’s jacket was a Sherpa Lined Two Picket Hooded Trucker Jacket by Levi’s … sold at Macy’s for the retail price of $225.

The jacket’s popularity has since spread like wildfire on the company’s website … where more than 6,000 people were viewing the jacket at the same time — and nearly 700 were sold in the past 48 hours, according to an item popularity tool on Macy’s site.

As you know, Thompson was fatally shot in Manhattan on Wednesday … and the nationwide manhunt for his killer continues.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters Friday that detectives are looking into the possibility the gunman used a veterinary gun … a larger gun commonly used on ranches and farms — but the gun hasn’t been recovered.

However, a backpack suspected of belonging to the shooter was found in Central Park. As TMZ reported … the backpack appears to be an Everyday Backpack from Peak Designs … a bag meant for serious photographers but designed for casual use, also.
