he CEO of the company whose backpack was spotted on the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare boss shooting has said he and his employees have been targeted with vile abuse since he tipped police off.

Peter Dering, the founder and CEO of Peak Design, was quoted in a Dec. 5 New York Times article, saying that he contacted police immediately after he saw his product in CCTV images of the alleged shooter’s movements around New York City in the wake of the public slaying of Brian Thompson. The high-end bag was later found in Central Park stuffed with Monopoly money.
