What throws me is that he managed to successfully get away, but then decided not to change clothes or ditch the evidence. The authorities clearly didn't know who he was, he should've been easily able to disappear back into society, but instead he decides to wander around in public dressed as the assassin. Maybe he wanted to get caught, but then why run in the first place? Alternatively, the feds have some secret tech for identifying people and the McDonalds snitch thing is just a cover?
I don't find this part to be much of a mystery at all. What is he going to do, go back to his 9 to 5 and live like nothing has happened, having murdered some asshole in cold blood, but that having changed literally nothing in the world? Like that's not something a normal person wants to do. Fairly high likelihood he just planned things out without much of a hope of it ever actually going as well as it did, and when it went better than he expected he just didn't have much more of a plan.
You can't change the world, but you can make a scratch and seems like his went pretty deep. Why not go back to your old life, let the heat die down and then do it again.
It does remind me of the Columbine shooting a bit, where all the killing happened in a 16 minute window, and they proceeded to wander around for the next 40 minutes before killing themselves.
Really seems like the only explanation
