The suspect is at large, and is described as a white male wearing a cream-colored jacket, black face mask, black and white sneakers, and a grey backpack.
Who wants to guess the odds that the guy had a change of outer clothing in that backpack, and as soon as he got to Central Park, he changed, ditched his bike and old clothes, and is now out of the city?
Note that the guy wore a mask, and because he did no one has any idea what his face looks like, nor does any camera.
You'd think a pro wouldn't put on a suppressor and be surprised that the suppressed gasses prevented the gun from cycling as expected.
I'm not sure how professional this actually is. This is something you could test very quickly at the range.
Also, professionals tend not to work alone, but in teams, especially to clean up the evidence. When a Mossad hit was accidentally recorded by Hotel security, they had 30 people broken up into 4 teams (security, kill, cleaner, observer) to shoot one man in his hotel room with a prostitute.
I dunno if he really looked surprised by having to cycle manually, he seemed to move to do it immediately after the first shot. He was a little clumsy about it, especially by the third shot, so that could still indicate a relatively unpractised but competent amateur.
if he has any proper training on that gun at all, it should be that level of instinctive with a failure to cycle. I agree that this looks like a competent armature.
