  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.

        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.

    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.

  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 true, if it was really planned to the tee it was probably something like www.bitrefill.com/us/…/virtual-prepaid-visa-usa/

        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.
