Per the article you posted: “Surveillance video of this individual shows a male in his 20s, with closely cropped dark hair and facial hair on his chin. He was wearing black shorts, a white T-shirt, black Converse sneakers and what appeared to be a long, gold necklace. The man who rushed toward Smith in the surveillance video is wearing similar clothing.” Two pieces of video footage: one showing someone’s face pretty clearly, the other not showing a face, but right around the same time and similar enough in size and dress that it could easily be the same person.
Honestly, if the man whose face is shown in that video hasn’t turned himself in to police by now to clear himself, he’s almost certainly the perp. Since the story is apprently getting wall to wall media coverage in the local area, it’s really implausible that the guy whose face is shown doesn’t know that he’s being sought by police.
Yeah. Every rational person believes in their heart-of-hearts that the police would never railroad them for a easy conviction.
