Thompson, 50, was killed by a masked gunman early Wednesday morning as he headed toward the entrance of the Hilton Hotel for an investor meeting of UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare.

UnitedHealthcare is the largest private payer of health insurance benefits in the United States.
