Seems risky for the perpetrator, won't they be able to trace who rented the bike?
They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they're the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.
Not just new clothes, probably a reversible backpack so when leaving the park the backpack wasn't even the same color.
Y'all really just crafting whatever narrative you want in your heads, aren't ya?
What does your little voice have you do? Mine is a movie director and you are ruining the plot…
Might as well. No empathy for merchants of death.
The insurance companies are the death panels politicians used to talk about like the bogeyman, not the government.
Don't really give a shit about any of the rich assholes making decisions about who should die just to increase shareholder returns.
What does any of that have to do with the comment chain? I was commenting on how people are just running wild with their imagination instead of sticking to facts.
If you only care about the facts, read the fucking article and ignore the comments. No one here is an expert or involved in the investigation, we're here to talk about it.
For whatever reason, you seem to not understand the function of a comment section, and feel the need to voice that. Not sure why.
You okay, mate?
I'm fine, just trying to understand why you're even here if you don't want to participate in conversation.
Word is it wasn't a rental bike after all which is probably smarter.
They would have to go through the ebike company, and that could take some time
Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.
Corpo netrunners, you say?
Booooo. Can we add that guy to the list?
They can trace the credit card. Whether or not that leads to the actual shooter is a different matter.
Step 1
Walk into a Walgreens and buy a prepaid visa with cash
They probably know which Walgreen's it was bought in and can check when it was bought, likely there are cameras in the store. Hope the dude was wise enough to wear a mask or some other disguise.
Camera footage takes up more storage than most companies are willing to pay for, especially for retail. Any footage was likely overwritten beyond a certain point, assuming the drive is even still functional after years of wear and tear.

That's a great tool, thanks.
That’s true, if it was really planned to the tee it was probably something like https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/gift-cards/virtual-prepaid-visa-usa/
Edit:
Or more likely:

It it were really planned couldn't someone just wait a month or so? They're not storing footage for that long.
Walgreens is a bad choice. They've invested a ton of money into cameras and surveillance for their locations. Almost on the level of Target for loss prevention.
Agreed, see my follow up comments for better approaches
