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.
Yeah just slapping a suppressor on something will still be car horn loud.
But the right combination of silencers and subsonic ammo can still have a huge reduction to bystander perceived noise. Decibels are an exponential scale, so whilst even just going from 160 to 120 dB at the muzzle doesn't sound like much, that's a 99.99% reduction in pressure wave amplitude. Across the street it could sound about as loud as someone thwacking two drumsticks together. To even just the next street on the block it could just sound like general city background noise.
