A team of New York City Police Department (NYPD) divers is searching the waters of Central Park Lake for a gun believed to be used in the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO. The search, which began on Wednesday morning, is part of an ongoing investigation into the CEO’s death, which occurred earlier this week.
According to sources, the NYPD received a tip that the gun used in the murder was thrown into the lake, prompting the search. The divers, who are part of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit, are using specialized equipment to search the lake’s waters.
The CEO, whose name has not been released, was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Monday morning. The police were called to the scene after a 911 call was made by the CEO’s assistant, who reported finding the body.
The NYPD has not released any information about the suspect or the motive behind the killing. However, sources close to the investigation say that detectives are reviewing security footage and interviewing witnesses in an effort to identify the killer.
The search of Central Park Lake is a significant development in the investigation, as it suggests that the killer may have tried to dispose of the gun in a public place. The lake, which is located in the heart of Manhattan, is a popular spot for boating and fishing.
The NYPD has cordoned off the area around the lake, and divers are working to search the waters. The search is expected to take several days, depending on the conditions of the lake.

The NYPD has urged anyone with information about the murder to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to identify the killer and bring them to justice.
In a statement, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said, “The NYPD is committed to solving this case and bringing the perpetrator to justice. We urge anyone with information to come forward and assist us in our investigation.”
