They can trace the credit card. Whether or not that leads to the actual shooter is a different matter.
Step 1
Walk into a Walgreens and buy a prepaid visa with cash
They probably know which Walgreen's it was bought in and can check when it was bought, likely there are cameras in the store. Hope the dude was wise enough to wear a mask or some other disguise.
Camera footage takes up more storage than most companies are willing to pay for, especially for retail. Any footage was likely overwritten beyond a certain point, assuming the drive is even still functional after years of wear and tear.

That's a great tool, thanks.
That’s true, if it was really planned to the tee it was probably something like https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/gift-cards/virtual-prepaid-visa-usa/

It it were really planned couldn't someone just wait a month or so? They're not storing footage for that long.
Walgreens is a bad choice. They've invested a ton of money into cameras and surveillance for their locations. Almost on the level of Target for loss prevention.
Agreed, see my follow up comments for better approaches
