No paywall, same amount of detail (little) - looked around but not much detail generally in any of the outlets except there was an investor day, he was leaving a hotel, shot in the chest, deceased.

> A gunman, who investigators tell CNN was waiting for some time before Thompson’s arrival, opened fire from 20 feet away firing multiple times, striking Thompson.

This from CNN makes it sound like it could possibly be targeted, though there are very few details at this time and sometimes these things are misreported in the immediate aftermath.

My bet is that it’s someone that got stiffed by UHC themself or lost someone close to them. You only have to get prematurely released from the hospital because some representative over the phone says so once for you to see this system is incredibly broken.
