I am going to guess that the police or media outlets chose the most nefarious looking photo they could find. They have that type of power to drive a narrative.

It's the same type of bias as when the mugshots of criminal police officers are taken, they are allowed to clean themselves up and put on a suite. It shouldn't be like this, but it is. I kind of like how some European countries don't allow the photos or names of suspects to be released before the verdict. I also understand that it limits transparency and don't know how to deal with that.
