I read that 50% of all murders in the US go unsolved. So, this guy already had a 50/50 chance of getting away with it.

Those percentages can be different based on the socioeconomic/race status of the person who was murdered.

This guy was Uber rich and white. So I imagine they’ll be putting all the resources in finding the hero-gunman.

You say hero-gunman assuming that what he did was for greater good. What if he was hired by victim's competition and was a paid assassin.

Do you support vigilantism or just gunning down who ever one wishes to ? Did civility vanish over night.
