I saw that he went through a starbucks. If he had something to drink there and left any traces then he is as good as caught and probably not a hitman. There are almost no US citizens that cant be identified through DNA.

from https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-shot-dead-gunman-bullet-casings-rcna182975

Prior to the shooting, the gunman purchased a water bottle and two protein bars from a nearby Starbucks and discarded the items, according to a senior New York City law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

Investigators recovered a video showing where the suspect discarded the items, and police collected them as evidence, hoping it could aid in the investigation, the official said.

Sounds like he just bought it for show so maybe he is alright.

If he chucked them into a public garbage can then they won't be able to get anything useful from the items. They'll be so contaminated that you can't get a clean sample.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

An unclean sample won't be useful in court, but it will be useful to the investigation. When that contaminated sample comes back to 4 people who don't match the description, and two people who do, the investigation narrows to those two suspects. When they finally do find the guy, they can go back and re-interpret the rest of their evidence in 20/20 hindsight before taking it to court.

About the only way this guy isn't going to get caught is if investigators are selectively incompetent, and/or the general public realizes it needs to "I'm Spartacus" the investigators.

Depends what you mean by useful. This is NYPD we're talking about, these will be super useful for arresting and convicting someone that some cop doesn't like

Tell that to the Grim Sleeper!
