Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?

    It’s the manifesto he left and that he did it on the security camera.

    This assassin did this with extreme precision and enough awareness that he knew the camera was there.

    It wasn’t a hired hit. This was a statement.

        If it was a hired hit, it would be pretty clever to put those words on the casings to make it look like a political statement.

            Like you said, it’s hard to not be on security cameras, and they only shared the video of the attack that had a couple of frames of the upper half of his face. So they are looking for someone with the upper half of their face.

              Oh. Sharing too much stuff as public information can actually make it harder to get a conviction if they do find the guy. It’s normal to not make public every single photo and video of a suspect. They’ll release some of the most likely info to help ID and find a person and keep the rest for the prosecution.

      Hitmen can be hired to make statements.

          Definitely. I don’t disagree with the statement, I just think it’s poor judgement to praise the assassin, who might be a random scumbag murdering people for money, just like the CEO.
