Okay, you don’t want to discuss it anymore but do you have that cite for the outlets having his name other than Adams and the NYPost? You made that claim in post 619 so I’m curious about it.

I’ve tried googling tonight but now there’s too much about the arrest to get that, unless i can find better search terms. I read it early this morning.

This is not post 619 of the other thread, but appears to be what the op is referencing:

> [@UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot in Manhattan \[2024-12-04\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unitedhealthcare-ceo-fatally-shot-in-manhattan-2024-12-04/1011159/619):
>
> It was reported more recently by other outlets. Clearly not in this case. He was on the run under an assumed name. Releasing his real name isn’t going to help track him down. Unless you’re a cop, I don’t think you can be declaring what is SOP in this circumstance.
