Good question. Also, why would JB need to look at LE photo lineups to identify someone who had a "personal issue" with him? Or to identify someone/two someones he supposedly already knew?
The NYT story doesn't attribute sources for the information in that article. Their version is also different from that told in both Texas articles.
NYT: Brown was leaving club when he "ran into" into someone who had personal issues with him who wanted to fight, gunshots erupted, the gunman "and an accomplice" fled.
TX: S2 entered club with murder on his mind, waited outside for Brown, they fought, Morris handed S2 a gun, S2 shot Brown and killed Diggs.
In the TX articles, only one witness (sounds like a bouncer) is cited for the record: that he saw S2 go into the club speaking of murder, wait for Brown outside, fight with Brown, have a gun handed to him by Morris, shoot & flee, as the (bouncer) tried to stop him.
"Other witnesses" supposedly saw Morris hand S2 the gun.

Here is the indictment against Morris, dated June 6, 2019.
View attachment 208181
Note that Morris wasn't indicted for shooting Brown. He WAS indicted for shooting and killing Diggs. Directly, not as an accessory.
I'm thinking if there really is a "suspect 2," he's the accessary/"accomplice" mentioned. And yep,it's difficult to make sense of LE's complete indifference to finding the actual shooter, especially if Brown identified him.
With what is known so far (not much and contradictory), Morris was the shooter, there isn't a S2 of significance OR S2 has already been identified by LE and is part of the State's case against Morris in whatever manner. jmo
The timing of Morris' indictment, June 2019, seems a far more probable explanation for Brown's murder than any of the conspiratorial speculations going on about LE involvement OR that Morris or unknown parties timed Brown's murder to try to implicate LE, etc. etc.
and that was it.
