If the footage I’ve seen is accurate, he’s not white.

The VPD released the name and current charges. Asian male, currently 8 murder charges, victims from 5 to 65.

Frankly the VPD and City Hall have to answer as to why they didnt use the standard dump truck road blocks that they use for functionally every other city event.

That was my first assumption but it’s seeming not to match with what happened.

No official statements yet, but eyewitnesses report an Asian male.

Moreover, the cops have only said they’ve had numerous interactions with that person in a “variety of situations” over a long period of time.

It does seem like the “solo lunatic” angle is correct from what’s available so far.
