They know why

CNN webpage with a photo and text saying "We have a photo showing the suspect's unmasked face. How has no one recognized him and come forward to police?"

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist:
But my guess is that this person is just a random person who happened to have similar outfit, near the wrong place, around the wrong time. They saw this and immediately put the blame on the person.
I mean, the guy on the shooting video was smart enough to have a suppressor, but he just decided to pull down his mask when he know he's on camera? Doubt.
Robert Lee Stinson was falsely convicted using "teeth mark" psudoscience BS, and that was a low-profile case. This is a "high-profile" case to them. Who knows what ends they'll go to find someone to blame it on.
- A hoodie and a backpack could describe half the people at any tech company in America.
  
  Exactly!
  
  Oh shit, I wore a hoodie and backpack to college once.
  And I also smiled at someone once. Pretty sure there was a CCTV camera near by.
  Are they looking for me?
  Oh shit is that a knock on my door?
  Aaaaahhhhh noo it wasn't me I swear
  😱

- Thing is, everyone has seen this photo by now. The person in the photo has seen the photo. People who know him have seen the photo. If it were a photo of me, I'd be like, "Oh shit, I better call a lawyer because these cops think I killed someone" and call to clear up the mistake. I'd let everyone know that's a pic of me, but I am not the murderer.
  Nobody has done that yet.
  
  You're brave if you think that would be enough for them to leave you alone. I've know a few people who've been stalked and harassed for years by cops who had nothing on them.
  
  Seriously? If someday my face appeared on a wanted poster for a crime i did not commit and did not have clear alibi, i'll lay low.
  
  i'd highly advise against doing that if it ever happens to you, especially with a high profile case like this one.
  chances are someone will be found, arrested, and tried for this, it'd be an incredibly bad look for the police to shrug and say "we don't know" - will it be the person who actually killed that CEO, or will it be a scapegoat who just had the misfortune of looking like him and nobody could confirm their alibi of "i was at alone at home watching movies"? Interrogations can last a long time, the longer one lasts the more likely a false confession is to happen because the person just wants the questioning to end, not to even mention the multitude of techniques used by interrogators to get into your head
  yes, contact a lawyer immediately, just in case, but don't go around announcing "this is me in the photo but i didn't do it pinky promise, i was watching movies that night haha, no sorry i don't have a habit of telling everyone i'm going to be watching movies, no none of my neighbours saw me that night i was alone"
  
  Can’t you do all that after they catch you? Cause there is a chance they won’t and you doing that might increase your chances of getting caught and being wrongly convicted.
  
  You're right, the dude in the photo is probably AI generated, so the poliece looks like they have a suspect already and nobody is going to embarrass them.
- It honestly reminds me of Fahrenheit 451. The main character is on the run and watches the news to see police killing a random man that they said was him. Just so the public would see the police as competent.
- I loved that CNN published a picture of the wrong guy, smiling, handsome, flirting with the receptionist.
  So now, it makes it easier for the murderer to escape because people are looking for a face that is not his and in the collective unconscious he went from a dark alley murderer to a handsome, smiling guy casually flirting that makes him even more likeable.
  I know it's way too far fetched but as a plan it would be a genius master plan.
- smart enough to have a suppressor…
  That is all of a form 4 stamp and a $200 check my man. These days it’s a few weeks dwell time.
  I have 12 of them. Most of the guys I shoot with have several. None of them are even close to being on this side of the bell curve for intellect.
  Dude had a plan that was well thought out, but the can on his pistol wasn’t an indicator of it.
- NYPD cannot be trusted to get this right, despite having Tom Selleck as Chief Commissioner!

I love that the true crime investigator people on the internet, when asked about helping, responded with a resounding (actual quote) 'absolutely the fuck not'.
- Class solidarity at last. Fuck y'all billionaires.

I'm starting to suspect the backpack they found was a rando just doing a solid for a hero to throw off the pigs.

On the one hand, this probably isn't the same guy.
On the other hand he's really hot, and we love it when our folk heroes look good doing their heroics.

Anybody who comes forward will have a target on their back.
Fucking class traitor

i didnt see nothing man...
straight white transexual male female of african american decent with dash of asian heading north east south.
Do these people really think Americans are about to turn on a folk hero and even if they are willing, would you want to be on that guy's shit list over some dead executive?
- a folk hero
  I can’t wait for songs to be written about him
  ETA: I hope his name is Jayne. The man they called Jayne…
  
  Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain
  
  Careers could be made, the demand is there.

Because it's not even the same guy?

I know who that is, it's Timothée Chalamet!
- Lisan al Ghaib!

Jake Gyllenhaal is a hard man to find.
- Jared Leto might need to answer a few quick questions too.

He totally looks like Jake Gyllenhaal.

Why is CNN's CEO Sir Mark John Thompson looking to draw attention to himself? Could he be hoping for a new trend to develop where people surprise CEOs named Thompson in the streets? Seems weird, but maybe he's optimistically hoping that his surprise might be cake or something.

Why would someone turn in this guy when he's clearly not the shooter? Different windbreaker altogether

My money is on scapegoating some poor soul as a warning to the masses.

who is this person? what did he do any why are there plenty memes about him?
- No idea what you're talking about, but there's clearly something wrong with my phone. People keep mentioning pictures of some dude but the pictures never seem to load on my phone at all. It's wild how that only happens specifically with that one picture. Oh well.

I'd like to come forward and say that I also wear a hoodie when it's cold. Not that color though, I prefer a black or blue hoodie. I also wear glasses, have a beard and moustache, and am at least 3 times uglier than the guy in the photo.

Weird, shocker, complete mystery, total enigma; very puzzling, baffling, inexplicable, a “head-scratcher” as the hooligans say; indecipherable, unanswerable, consign it to oblivion and endeavor never to ask this quandary again.

Maybe everyone around him/her died from coverage refusal, nobody can identify that person cause they are dead. Which would explain why they decided to kill the leech-ionnaire

ask other CEOs and see if they can come up with any possible reasons
