"The trouble at UnitedHealth comes almost exactly six months after the murder of Brian Thompson, one of its top executives."

Curious that the article dilutes Thompson's position to "one of its top executives" against terming him "Witty's predecessor as CEO for over three and a half years."

Thompson was CEO of United healthcare, one of several organizations under the UnitedHealth umbrella. He wasn't the top guy in the company. The article is accurate.
