Why are they still saying “suspected” shooter?

How much evidence does one need before they can definitely say something?

He was never convicted in a court of law. They are always “suspected ______” until they are “convicted _____”. Since we don’t try people posthumously (yet), they will never be convicted.

Colloquially, people will just stop saying that detail. But it’s still there.

Yeah, I imagine once the investigation is closed, they’ll stop using “suspected”.
