The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson spurred big Medicaid insurer Centene to hold a virtual investor day instead of an in-person event at the New York Stock Exchange .

Thompson was fatally shot outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan on his way into UHG 's investor day by a masked gunman in what police said was a targeted slaying.

Thompson 's slaying also has spurred some major health companies to remove photos of executives and board members from their websites.
