I think you're probably misinterpreting the quote. Here's the reporting on this from the NYT:
I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn't just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.
Unless you're thinking of a different quote.
That was the quote. Thanks, I really did not understand that. I mean, if the guy was "fully masked", they wouldn't have a face shot. He should have said he was "mostly masked".
I assume they meant full masked during the shooting, but if there are enough cameras you can follow where someone originated from before they put their mask on and grab a image of their face from maybe a dozen streets away half an hour before the shooting.
Yeah I can see how the quote is super misleading.
