Seems risky for the perpetrator, won’t they be able to trace who rented the bike?

They would have to go through the ebike company, and that could take some time

Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.

They can trace the credit card. Whether or not that leads to the actual shooter is a different matter.

Step 1

Walk into a Walgreens and buy a prepaid visa with cash

They probably know which Walgreen’s it was bought in and can check when it was bought, likely there are cameras in the store. Hope the dude was wise enough to wear a mask or some other disguise.

Walgreens is a bad choice. They’ve invested a ton of money into cameras and surveillance for their locations. Almost on the level of Target for loss prevention.

They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they’re the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.

Not just new clothes, probably a reversible backpack so when leaving the park the backpack wasn’t even the same color.

Word is it wasn’t a rental bike after all which is probably smarter.

Drive-by e-scooter shootings have been a thing here in Sweden, which I firmly place in the same cyberpunk bucket.

The rich and powerful control the narrative. They use that narrative to craft stories to keep people’s anger and extremism directed inwards.

This isn’t some great mystery. It’s just the reality of what tyranny actually looks like.
