He's got a black backpack carrying something  large and somewhat pointed.

There are several places that have posts that point out a few dozen pics that show back packs etc....

Similarly, I've avoided such things.

There's only so much that be gleaned from stills without 'more' 'real' detective work.

Are they helpful, sure.  Trying to draw a definitive conclusion from such things ? No.

Here are those two guys again.  The one that was carrying the back pack doesn't appear to be doing so in this picture.  They are in the red circle in the lower half of the picture.

I'm not a huge fan of AJ, but infowars has a bunch of pics it seems.

CNN accused them but on his facebook page he said he wasn't the one.

He actually did go downtown and talked to folks.  Nothing came of it.
