Remember kids, if you see the guy who shot and killed the UCH CEO with named bullets: no you didn't.
This is the exact opposite of the Reddit Boston Bomber fiasco. What man? I only see a picture of an empty sidewalk
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they'll need anyone to narc him out. They tracked him all the way to the hostel he was staying at and have more photos of him.
Unless this guy was cash only with fake names and no phone in sight, they'll probably be able to narrow it down quickly (or might already have a name they haven't released). Maybe there's a chance he was clever about all of that.
But if he had a phone they'll just do one of their dragnet warrants of people in the area at those various places and times and crossmatch the person who was at all of them. Combine that with a facial rec search against drivers license photos and other holdings, they'll dial it in sooner than later.
He ditched a phone while he was fleeing the scene and used a fake NJ ID at the hostel. Hopefully the phone was a burner.
