I believe the curfew had been lifted moments before he went outside for a cigarette - at least that's what's been reported over and over and over.

  So the curfew actually prevented earlier discovery of the younger brother, interesting.

    Well, considering "the second suspect" was possibly armed to the teeth, and maybe wearing a suicide vest, the hope was that, yeah, a regular person would not stumble on him and get killed. The guy who found him got lucky, it sounds like.

    You can't state that as fact either. It's possible the lock down and house to house search left the suspect with no other choice but to find a hiding place and stay there. If residents remained on the streets it's possible he could have slipped away.
