The man was found with a similar gun used in Thompson’s assassination, according to NBC News.

Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in cold blood at around 6:45 am on December 4 as he arrived for an investor conference at the Hilton hotel.

Shocking surveillance footage captured the moment a masked and hooded gunman snuck up behind Thompson and unloaded several shots.

Thompson died after being shot multiple times in the back and leg, New York Police said.
