Brian Thompson, 50, was shot by a masked gunman around 6:45 a.m. near the New York Hilton Midtown, where he was set to speak at an investment conference, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference.
Tisch said it seems the gunman "was lying in wait" for several minutes as other people walked by. Surveillance video shows when Thompson appeared, the suspect stepped behind him and opened fire from close range, striking him in the back and leg. Police said the gunman's weapon appeared to jam, but he still managed to continue firing.
