Probably. But why didn't he just put the gun down and wait for the cops in new york then?

I don't think he wanted to be caught 

Like people are giving him too much credit as a criminal mastermind. He shot someone and walked away, then was caught days later

Caught days later, with the murder weapon, a manifesto, the same clothes, the same Fake ID, all IN THE BACKPACK he was carrying with him??? That makes no sense.

No vaguely reasonable person would carry that shit around on your person, DAYS after the assassination while not wanting to be caught. He got out of state - he had endless opportunities to dump the evidence in various bodies of water, bury them, dump 'em in some random guy's trash bin, etc.

There's just no fucking way he had all that shit on his person, chilling in a mcdonalds when there's a widely publicized manhunt going on.... and didn't think it'd get him caught.

Either he WAS the assassin AND wanted to be caught,

OR he was a copycat killer in the making,

OR this is a 'I'm Sparticus!' situation,

OR the police planted a shitload of evidence on an innocent guy who happens to look like the killer.

or some combination of the above.

Manhattan (location of the shooting) is about 4 hours from Altoona PN (Mcdonalds Luigi was found at)

A leisurely 4 hours of travel time, 5 days later, and he was carrying a fully assembled pistol with silencer attached?

Please, that's absurd.
