“We don’t want to release [his name] now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

"We revealed his face," he continued, referring to security camera photos and video released after the murder. "We’re going to reveal who he is and we’re going to bring him to justice.”

So the guy that did it, knows he did it, knows you’ve released his photo, and now you’re publicly saying that you know his identity and that you’re coming for him… and it’s supposed to be a surprise?

This, an incredibly stupid statement. He already knows he did it. Disclosing his name doesn't help him, he already knows that he did it and you know he did it.

He won't suddenly change his behavior just because you release his name.

I’m hardly convinced that the released photo is even him.
