That’s my guess as well. He probably didn’t realize how well they could trace his movements. Especially his movements prior to the shooting.

If he was really in town 10 days of course it would be weird if he was masked up the entire time. When he arrived it was in the 50s which isn’t protect your face kinda weather.

But it sounds like he did stay masked for most of that time, or there would be more of his face by now. He also had the discipline to pay for everything in cash, which presumably means he 1) knew they would trace everything he did in NYC and 2) he knew roughly how much cash he would need for the whole thing. I’m not saying those moments weren’t mistakes, but I also think this guy was super careful the entire time he was in New York (and probably long before that).
