C'mon, @dotr. They've described Luke Naokeegijig as a 39-year-old man who is 6’1 with long black hair, a mustache and brown eyes likely wearing a camouflage sweater and black jeans. Do you really need a pic to recognize him?

Seriously, my guess is LE doesn't want to risk any members of the public confronting Luke if they happen to cross paths with him. Although they could just publish his photo on a BOLO saying "DO NOT APPROACH", "CONTACT LE IMMEDIATELY" or something similar. I'd suggest they should consider "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE" but he's not a threat even though he's "armed and dangerous" and they've closed schools and recommended a shelter in place? What's going on here?
