I'd sincerely recommend everyone to read his manifesto and think about it a little bit.

Which I think would make sense if he wanted to send a message. For example: he lays low and check press coverage to see if they report on it the way he wants. If he doesn’t get the reaction he’s looking for then he can turn himself in and get another chance to speak to the public more directly.

I can see some logic to it.

His goal wasn’t to get away with murder, his goal was to highlight the system in a way that couldn’t be ignored.

Like self-immolation, but burn the person who's actually responsible for the problem.

But why would him be getting caught be necessary here? The motive was pretty obvious simply due to his role as CEO, and the shell casings removed any doubt. It's not like his "manifesto" revealed much about his motives that wasn't obvious from the bullet casings. In terms of sending his message, what did he getting caught actually accomplish?
