UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Suspect Lookalike Contest Held In New York City

A shooting suspect "lookalike contest" took place in New York City's Washington Square Park on Saturday — likely a comedic reference to the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest held in the same location in October.

After New York police released a photo of a "person of interest" in the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Thursday, many people on social media remarked on the individual's apparent physical resemblance to the actor.

When independent reporter Talia Jane asked the handful of contestants at Saturday's event about who organized the contest, one man joked, "The FBI."

It's not expensive to look like how the guy dressed.
