Have you ever heard someone fire a .223? It sounds like a cannon going off.
You're probably not going to be able to determine which exact direction it's coming from if you're in the local vicinity.
The only way would be if they actually seen the muzzle flash.

i grew up with many guns. i had several Ruger Mini-14's which use the .223 round. it is very very loud. however when you are shooting in the direction of a building for example and more than a couple hundred yards away, you will hear the echo of the report off the building and surrounding structures. if he was firing from inside a van or car... i.e. the back seat of the car folds down and he is shooting from the back seat through a hole in the trunk, it would muffle the sound considerably and also make it harder to really say what direction it came from.
the guy clearly knew what he was doing and everything was VERY well though out or he would not have been able to do it so many times and have no one know exactly where the shot came from... WHILE being able to slip away undetected.
if you have ever had a high caliber bullet whiz past your head, you will know that it is not the same as seeing it from a distance and being able to know what direction it came from. combine that sensation with watching someone get shot, a muffled report form being fired from inside a vehicle, no muzzle flash, no lingering gun smoke in the air and having the echo off of surrouding buildings would make it really difficult to know where it came from. this is the biggest reasons for only firing one shot.
other than that, i think that the resident GFY homocide, investigative, forensic and ballistic experts are correct and it is all a setup where once again "The Man" is just trying to oppress the black man and keep him down.
