They didn't waste a minute identifying the perp by his race. Somehow; I don't think they would have done the same if he were non-white.

I think it's possible that they specified he was white because initially they released no information and many on the net were saying "no name? well he must be ... [insert ethnicity here]" and they wanted to short circuit that. Still no name though, which is odd.

May be he was a “white hispanic”.
