The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

These all look like different people with photos from different places at different times of the day. Probably their AI matched them and the coppers just had a quick glance, then put them on this panel.
Honestly, I doubt the person who shot him would actually be mad at being caught. He might've started a movement.
I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?
I sure as fuck wouldn't. I know enough not to come anywhere near the police if they're scrutinizing me for any reason, even if I know 100% I'm innocent and I can prove it. You absolutely cannot trust them not to just arrest you and railroad you into a bullshit conviction anyway, or plant some evidence, or decide "he had a knife" and just outright kill you. You know how they say "anything you say can be used against you?" That's because they absolutely won't use it to help you, even if you're not guilty of anything.
I am positive city hall is breathing down the NYPD's neck real hard right now. The entire department has got a lot of egg on its face for not being able to stop this guy, not being able to positively identify this guy, hell, not even know with any certainty where he went afterwards. They are under immense pressure to hang somebody -- anybody -- over this because they're looking even more like chumps than usual.
So no, a wise man would not expose himself to the cops in any way whatsoever.
Fair point. I suspect that the NYPD doesn’t really want to bring him in alive.
Feel free to upload more pictures claiming to be him that aren't, post them to Reddit, send them to the news claiming to be from an official source.
Protect your folk heros America.
Regardless of whether the picture is correct, if you think you saw this man, no you didn’t.
Not only do I agree, but also it has been my feeling that the Starbucks footage and visit was a performance of some kind, and the water and phone they found were a distraction. Dude seems to have otherwise thought this through pretty well.
I admit that's nothing more than a hunch though, and I can't really defend it against anyone who disagrees.
Looks like a generic male, although the ladies say he is good looking.
Looks like nobody saw nothing in NYC tho lol
These are all different people, and two of the images look fake.
it’s honestly laughable, im race blind but also they are obviously of entirely different ethnic origin IMHO
I forget, when were the hostel images captured? Is it a case of different day, different coat, different bag?
If they are the same person they may have two jackets that are very similar but slightly different and two different backpacks. Someone on top of opsec or paranoid having lots of easily changeable looks would make sense. Although ideally you would want different colored jackets. It could also be that the camera quality isn't good enough for the details in the jacket to show up and they only have two backpacks. It does really look like the two pictures on the right could be someone different with a similar jacket to the two pictures on the left though.
The assassin looks like he is wearing a black windbreaker style jacket and the other guy looks like he is wearing a cream colored dickies jean jacket with the grey hood like you get from walmart
Steal his look at a reasonable price!
But wait! There's more!
Agreed. I would call the Dickies style barn jacket tan rather than cream though.
I was curious when I was hearing the police chatter saying the suspect was wearing a "cream-coloured" jacket, when in the assassination footage it's pretty undeniably black or a dark colour at least.
The fabric looks different too. Like the shooter’s jacket seems to have a texture like gore-tex and the hostel guy’s jacket seems more like a cotton-poly weave. It’s hard to know for sure with the low quality images, but the colors look really different (and neither is anything close to cream)
I heard he was wearing a ~~white and gold~~ blue and black coat.
I heard that he's an ethereal being from another dimension that has already faded away from our plane of existence so the police is wasting its time looking for him and should close the case.
He probably spun around ~~counter~~clockwise, but if you focus a lot it might have been the other direction
It's not blue and black! It's white and gold!!!
Two different colored backpacks too
Honestly one looks like a very famous Podcaster and the other looks like a woman to me
