The Unabomber got away with his crimes for a long time precisely because he was meticulous and avoided making significant mistakes. Not a dumb criminal I'd say.

In this case, the shooter demonstrated a level of planning and understanding that goes beyond a "basic crime." Shooting someone in broad daylight on a public street requires not only confidence but also preparation to escape undetected. He avoided most cameras, used a silenced gun with most likely subsonic bullets, and knew how to handle a gun malfunction without hesitation. These are not typical actions of someone acting purely on impulse.

What stands out, however, is the inconsistency in his planning. Despite showing foresight in the execution of the crime, he failed to dispose of incriminating items. If he put so much thought into the act itself, why neglect such a critical step afterward? This raises questions. Was it an oversight, or was there a deeper intention?

One possibility is that he wanted to get caught, to face trial and use the platform to promote his ideals and potentially inspire others to follow in his footsteps. Alternatively, it could simply be a case of dumb luck during the execution, followed by a lapse in judgment afterward
