Investigators obtained clues including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing.

    Good call, carrying the gun on your person instead makes more sense.

    Why would they use a gun registered to them? Untraceable gun + no fingerprints + left at the scene = no actionable evidence.

    Carry the gun with you, get stopped by a cop during the massive manhunt = get caught

    Realistic TV shows and films will do exactly this (like Godfather, The Sopranos, The Wire, etc.)
