The executive, Brian Thompson of UnitedHealthcare, was shot just after 6:45 a.m. near the New York Hilton Midtown, where his company was holding its annual investor presentations.
Surveillance video obtained by The New York Times shows a gunman in a dark hooded jacket walking up behind Thompson and firing at him at least three times.
The attacker had waited for Thompson, ignoring other passers-by, before shooting him in the back and leg.
Thompson, 50, managed a division that employs about 140,000 people. He had recently received several threats, though that is not unusual for health insurance executives.
