Most 'budget' hitmen would have been caught by now. The average hitman is a local schlub who has no idea what they're doing and can't even afford to leave the city or neighborhood that they live in. The police speculate that the guy was from out of town and probably left the city ASAP. While we really have no idea what his story is, he probably is a slightly above average hitman if he managed to kill someone as important as Brian Thimpson and still evaded capture after almost a week.

While murderers have been caught months or even years after the fact, those murders aren't as brazen or open as this one was.

True, not being caught yet is impressive, whether it be luck or skill.
